Jack Daniel's 'Twice Barreled' Special Release Heritage Barrel Rye Whiskey 2023
Tennessee Rye Whiskey | 700mL | 50% ABV (100 proof) | 2023 Special Release — Jack Daniel's Twice Barreled Special Release Heritage Barrel Rye Whiskey 2023 is the annual Single Barrel Special Release for 2023: Tennessee rye (70% rye, 18% corn, 12% malted barley) charcoal mellowed before aging, matured at least 5 years in new charred American white oak, then finished over 2 years in heavily toasted, lightly charred "Heritage Barrels" built at the Jack Daniel Cooperage. Bottled at 100 proof in a 700mL bottle. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
The Twice Barreled series is Jack Daniel's playground for barrel science — the second maturation is where the rye picks up its deep toast character. Each bottle's neck label prints the entry dates for the first barrel, the second barrel, and bottling, so collectors can trace the whiskey's full journey. Master Distiller Chris Fletcher's notes: toasted oak, honey, vanilla, toasted rye bread, and molasses with a graham-cracker-and-brown-sugar finish.
Tasting notes
Nose: toasted oak, light spices, honey (official). Palate: oak, vanilla, toasted rye bread, molasses. Finish: graham cracker and brown sugar balanced by rye and barrel notes.
