Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021 138.1 Proof

138.1 proof. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021 — uncut, unfiltered, from the hilltop barrels at the extreme end of the Jack Daniel's campus temperature cycling.

Coy Hill is the highest elevation point on the Jack Daniel's Lynchburg campus, where the most extreme seasonal temperature swings in the system drive the spirit deeper into the wood than any other location on the property. This barrel — at 138.1 proof — sits in the mid-tier of the 2021 Coy Hill single-barrel range.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet corn — the Jack Daniel's character amplified dramatically by hilltop proof concentration, with dried fruit and brown sugar building underneath
• Palate: Powerful and rich — caramel, brown sugar, charred oak, vanilla, and warming spice; upper-floor Coy Hill aging produces an intensity of flavor unavailable in any other Jack Daniel's expression
• Finish: Long, warm, and assertive — oak and caramel persisting with lingering dried fruit and spice well beyond the initial sip

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Coy Hill barrels reach such high proofs? Upper-floor Coy Hill barrels experience extreme temperature cycling that removes water faster than alcohol, concentrating the spirit. Standard Old No. 7 is 80 proof; Coy Hill can exceed 140 proof.
• How should 138.1 proof be served? A small amount of water or a single large ice cube significantly opens the aromatics. Neat tasting first is recommended before any dilution.
• Is each Coy Hill barrel unique? Yes — each is a single barrel bottled at its own natural proof, so the exact proof and flavor balance vary from barrel to barrel.
