Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel 2021 Special Release Coy Hill High Proof

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel 2021 Special Release Coy Hill High Proof is a sought-after, limited edition Tennessee Whiskey from Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Part of the brand’s annual Single Barrel Special Release series, this 2021 edition celebrates Coy Hill (the highest elevation point on the distillery’s property) where select barrels from the top ricks of barrel houses #8 and #13 were aged. The unique position exposes the whiskey to more extreme temperature variation and dry air, contributing to a concentrated and bold maturation.

Bottled uncut and nearly straight from the barrel, the Coy Hill High Proof release ranges between approximately 137.4 and 148.3 proof, marking it as the highest proof whiskey ever released by Jack Daniel’s. The use of Jack Daniel’s traditional mash bill 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye followed by charcoal mellowing through sugar maple before barreling, grounds this release in the classic Lincoln County Process while pushing flavor intensity to new heights.

On the nose, expect aromas of seared oak, dark brown sugar, and rich leather, while the palate unfolds with bold baking spices, toffee, and smoky nuances, leading to a lingering finish that underscores its high-proof character. Each bottle in this release carries its own proof, aroma, and flavor profile inherent traits of single-barrel whiskey. Due to its high strength, bottles are advised to be stored upright unless actively being poured.

Produced in extremely limited quantities and prized by collectors and enthusiasts alike, this 2021 Coy Hill High Proof edition stands as a testament to Jack Daniel’s craftsmanship and the influence of barrel location and maturation environment on whiskey character.
