From Lynchburg’s historic hollow, Single Barrel Select elevates Jack Daniel’s to collector status: a hand-chosen Tennessee whiskey drawn one barrel at a time for vivid character. Extra interaction with toasted oak yields richer caramel, citrus and spice, bottled at 45% ABV in a handsome 700ml decanter. A refined, ready-to-gift classic for milestone moments.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Sweet fruit and vanilla drift through orange oils and honeyed grain, before polished oak and a subtle charcoal smokiness unfurl. On the palate, caramel, toffee and brown sugar glide with cinnamon, clove and a hint of dark chocolate, balanced by candied citrus and roasted nut. A long, silky finish lingers with banana, warm spice and toasted oak.

Cocktail Pairings

Build a muscovado Old Fashioned for caramel depth; stir a plush Manhattan or bittersweet Boulevardier; lengthen into a precise Highball with chilled soda and orange zest; shake a silky Whisky Sour; or mix a gingered Tennessee Mule for lively sparkle.
Craftsmanship & Story
In Lynchburg, barrels chosen for Single Barrel Select come from the higher, warmer reaches of the rickhouses, where seasons intensify colour and flavour. After charcoal mellowing, the whiskey rests in new American oak until a select few casks show extra depth and balance. Each bottle bears its barrel details, celebrating classic Jack character with elevated texture and poise.
Special Features
Every barrel is singular: some sweeter, others more oak-forward, all threaded with vanilla, caramel and gentle spice. The 45% strength carries flavour with grace while remaining effortlessly sippable; extra oak exposure from top-floor casks adds resonance without heaviness. A weighty decanter and presentation box underscore its luxury stature and gifting appeal.

Food Pairing
Pair its vanilla-laced oak with char-grilled rib-eye and peppercorn sauce, maple-glazed pork chops, or smoked brisket. Roast chicken with thyme and buttered corn echoes sweet grain; aged Cheddar, Gouda or Gruyère flatter the creamy texture. For dessert, pecan pie, bananas Foster or dark-chocolate fondant mirror caramel, spice and that signature Jack banana note.
