Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Special Release: Tanyard Hill Rye (2025 Edition) 700ml

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intense and dark. You'll find dark chocolate-covered raisins, blackberry liqueur, and toasted walnuts, with a heavy base of brown sugar and charred oak.
• Palate: A massive "punch" of flavor. It leads with spearmint and candied mint, transitioning into mulled apple cider, blackstrap molasses, and black coffee.
• Finish: Long and savory. It leaves a lingering trail of brown sugar-cured bacon, vanilla bean, and clove, with a deep, warming rye grain spice.

Food Pairings

• Savory: Smoked Brisket with a Coffee Rub. The high proof and roasted coffee notes of the rye pair perfectly with the earthy, smoky crust of a well-seasoned brisket.
• Cheese: Aged Clothbound Cheddar. The savory, nutty complexity of an aged cheddar stands up to the "Hazmat" heat while highlighting the toasted walnut and toffee notes.
• Sweet: Dark Chocolate Tart with Sea Salt. The bitterness of the chocolate and the salt help tame the alcohol burn, allowing the blackberry and raisin fruit notes to shine.
• The "Hazmat" Tip: Given the extreme proof, add 3-4 drops of water to your glass. This "unlocks" hidden aromas of apricot and pear that are otherwise buried by the ethanol.
