The result is a rye whiskey at full cask concentration: the grain spice, pepper, and complexity of the rye category amplified by natural barrel proof, with the Lincoln County Process charcoal mellowing providing the smoothness that makes Jack Daniel's rye distinctive among cask strength ryes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense rye spice, pepper, and grain at cask strength, with caramel, charred oak, and the Lincoln County vanilla and sweetness beneath\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold rye energy at full barrel proof — cinnamon, pepper, grain, and charred oak with the Tennessee charcoal mellowing's signature smoothness threading through\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and assertive with rye spice, oak, and caramel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jack Daniel Distillery, Lynchburg, Tennessee (est. 1866)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey, Single Barrel, Cask Strength (Lincoln County Process)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70% rye, 18% corn, 12% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020 Special Release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncut at natural barrel proof\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/jack-daniels\"\u003eJack Daniel's collection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is the 2020 Barrel Proof Rye?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask strength — varies by barrel.
