Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye Whiskey
Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye is the first rye to join the distillery's Bonded Series — a 100-proof (50% ABV) Tennessee rye whiskey that meets every requirement of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897: distilled by one distiller in one season, aged in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. Aged seven years in new charred American oak and charcoal mellowed in Lynchburg, Tennessee, it arrives in the heritage 1895-inspired 700mL bottle. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Bonded, the 1897 Way
The Bonded Series honors the distillery's heritage — the bottle echoes the original 1895 Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey design — and Bonded Rye is its spice-forward chapter, replacing the former 90-proof straight rye with a bolder 100-proof, seven-year-old expression. The mash bill carries the brand's signature charcoal mellowing, but the rye's black-pepper character survives the trip through the sugar-maple charcoal. The brand's own profile: dried fruit and lingering toffee with rye's signature spiced finish. See the Jack Daniel's family or browse rye whiskey.
Tasting Notes
Candied maple sugar, pear, and apple on the nose with a candy-sweet edge; juicy fruit and assertive rye spice — black pepper, cinnamon, fresh mint, barrel char — on the palate with molasses, vanilla, and dried fruit; medium-length warming finish of vanilla custard, burnt brown sugar, and praline.
How to Enjoy
At 100 proof it's built for classic whiskey cocktails — a Manhattan or Old Fashioned where the higher ABV holds its own — though rye fans will enjoy it neat.
