Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye Whiskey

Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye Whiskey — a federally designated Bottled in Bond Tennessee Rye Whiskey applying the most rigorous production transparency standard in American whiskey law to Jack Daniel's 70% rye mash bill, the first new grain bill the distillery introduced since 1866.

Bottled in Bond means this rye was produced at a single distillery in a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. For Jack Daniel's rye program — already a historic departure for a distillery defined by its corn-dominant Tennessee Whiskey — the BiB designation adds a further layer of production integrity and proof that the standard Tennessee Rye at 90 proof cannot match. The result is a bolder, more assertive expression of the 70% rye mash bill with more weight and presence on the palate.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Grain-forward and spicy — dried fruit, light toasted oak, cinnamon, and a background sweetness from the charcoal mellowing
• Palate: Rich and spicy — rye grain character, dried fruit, baking spices, and toasted oak, with the full-proof intensity adding weight and depth over the 90-proof Tennessee Rye
• Finish: Longer and more complex than the standard rye — rye spice, black pepper, and a clean oak close that reflects both the 100 proof and the BiB production standard
