What’s in the bottle
The whiskey being reviewed here, Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series Selection #13, is described as a Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey twice barreled in new, charred American white oak barrels. It was distilled from a grain bill of 70% rye, 12% malted barley, and 18% corn before going through the charcoal-mellow process Daniel’s is known for.
After maturation, the rye whiskey was aged for two and a half years in a second new, charred American white oak barrel.
“Our Tennessee Rye is a take on rye whiskey that is uniquely Jack Daniel’s. The 70% rye grain bill allows the whiskey to shine through with just the right amount of spiciness and boldness,” said Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller, when this whiskey was released. “We’re excited to add a limited-edition expression to our rye lineup with this release, which introduces the whiskey to a second barreling to create a profile with even more depth and character.”
Distillery Series Selection #13 is bottled at 107 proof and priced at $41.99.
