Straight Rye Whiskey
⏳ wine.drinking_window
As a fully matured distilled spirit, it is bottled at its peak and does not improve with bottle aging; it is ready to enjoy immediately upon release and will remain stable indefinitely when stored upright in a cool, dark place.

While globally renowned for its iconic Tennessee Whiskey, the historic Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, made history in 2017 by releasing its Straight Rye Whiskey—the distillery's first new grain recipe in over 150 years. Crafted with a mash bill of 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% malted barley, this expression honors traditional American rye whiskey while retaining the signature Jack Daniel's character. The whiskey is distilled using the pristine, iron-free cave spring water from the Hollow and undergoes the legendary Lincoln County Process, where it is slowly dripped through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in handcrafted, charred white oak barrels. This unique charcoal mellowing softens the natural spice of the rye, resulting in a complex, smooth spirit that bridges the gap between bold, peppery rye spice and sweet, oak-driven vanilla and caramel.

Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the Jack Daniel Distillery stands as the oldest registered distillery in the United States. Situated at the pristine Cave Spring Hollow, the distillery utilizes iron-free cave spring water and a distinct mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. The signature of their production is the Lincoln County Process, where the newly distilled spirit is slowly drop-by-drop mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in handcrafted white oak barrels. This meticulous craftsmanship yields their world-renowned Tennessee Whiskey, celebrated through iconic expressions such as Old No. 7, Gentleman Jack, and their Single Barrel collection.
