Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof Rye
ABH pick No. 5—Coy Hill meets Rye Hard.
ABH pick No. 5 is a Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye from Coy Hill, selected on location at Jack Daniel’s in Lynchburg, Tennessee with Purspirit. Aged around 10 years, it was bottled at 65.85% ABV and 131.7 proof.
The barrel showed quintessential rye character from the start: rye spice and mature old oak arrive together up front, bold and concentrated without losing the whiskey’s balance or identity.
Then the finish changes the pace. A slightly cooling sensation moves across the palate like a cool sea breeze, giving the oak and spice a clean, refreshing contrast that keeps the proof from feeling heavy.
For the artwork, ABH took the obvious path from Coy Hill to Rye Hard: a Die Hard-inspired trip to Nakatomi Plaza with our barrel head and raccoon crew in the middle of the action. The bottle moved just as fast as the theme—this release sold out in only 5 minutes.
