No matter your preference, there’s a single barrel bottle that’ll brighten your eye.

You’ve got Select, coming in at 94-proof and filled with caramel and spice notes, or Rye, with its distinctive burst of spice that isn’t too bold, but bold enough. There’s also “Proof’?, cask-strength whiskey coming in at a whopping-150 proof straight out of the barrel, or Single Barrel Select, a softer 100-proof option still packed full of deep, rich flavor.

Regardless of which single barrel collection you choose, you’ll be blown away by the complex flavor and smooth finish you’ve come to expect from Jack Daniels.

Tennessee Apple

Sure, it seems like something of a niche, but if you happen to fall into that niche, you’ll be in good hands with Tennessee Apple at your side.

Special Editions

If that sounds like something you (or your more delicate significant other) might like to try, Jack Daniels’ line of Country Cocktails might offer a welcome surprise.
