{"product_id":"jack-daniels-single-barrel-heritage","title":"Jack Daniel's 'Single Barrel' Heritage Barrel Tennessee Whiskey","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarrel craftsmanship takes the lead in Jack Daniel's 'Single Barrel' Heritage Barrel Tennessee Whiskey, a 50% ABV expression that pairs the distillery’s familiar charcoal-mellowed whiskey with a deliberately different approach to oak. Slowly toasted, lightly charred barrels receive the spirit at 100 proof, encouraging a rich interplay of grain character, vanilla, baking spice, and toasted wood. Bottled from individual barrels at the same 100 proof, Heritage Barrel offers depth for deliberate sipping, with honeyed fruit and a lingering brown-sugar finish that adds warmth to its oak-driven character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharcoal Mellowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mellowed through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal before barrel maturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e A high-toast, low-char process slowly develops a deep toasted layer in the oak before charring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Entry Proof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 proof, equivalent to 50% ABV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e At least seven years for the permanent expression, with individual barrel ages varying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matured in some of the distillery’s highest-elevated barrelhouses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling Proof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 US proof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol by Volume (ABV):\u003c\/strong\u003e 50%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel bottling, preserving differences between individual casks.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Distiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chris Fletcher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permanent addition to the Single Barrel Collection since August 2025, following limited releases of Heritage Barrel in 2018 and 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft oak and vanilla establish the aromatic profile, followed by gentle baking spice and sweeter impressions of honey and candied fruit. The palate develops a rounded, dessert-like richness, bringing together brown sugar, vanilla custard and gingerbread with caramel and toasted marshmallow. Toasted oak defines the sweeter flavours, while the 100-proof strength lends warmth and presence. Individual barrels introduce their own nuances, with professional tasting notes also identifying dark fruit, chocolate and bright berries. The finish is long and warming, carrying brown sugar, oak and lingering spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASCOT Awards, 2026. “Mixed fruits transition to sweet oak,” with additional notes of vanilla pudding and cherry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBartender Spirits Awards, 92 Points and Gold Medal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026, Whisky category. “Bright berry notes with a smooth, lingering finish.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Barrel American Whiskey of the Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bartender Spirits Awards, 2026.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Francisco World Spirits Competition, 2025 and 2026; World Whiskies Awards, 2026, Tennessee Whiskey, No Age Statement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreaking Bourbon, #1 Whiskey of the Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025. “Sweet-oak balance at its core.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistiller's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegistered in 1866 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, Jack Daniel Distillery built its identity around cave spring water, sugar maple charcoal mellowing, and careful barrel maturation. Brown-Forman acquired the distillery in 1956, and current Master Distiller Chris Fletcher brings a chemistry background and extensive production and quality experience to its whiskey-making team. Heritage Barrel connects that established process with an exploration of early cooperage techniques, demonstrating how changes in toasting, charring, and barrel entry strength can reshape the distillery’s classic grain recipe. Its progression from limited releases to a permanent expression reflects a continuing interest in the character that individual barrels contribute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin neat at approximately 18 to 22°C in a tulip-shaped whiskey glass to explore the oak, fruit, and baking-spice aromas. Add a few drops of water gradually to adjust the 100-proof intensity, or serve over one large ice cube in a rocks glass for a cooler, slowly evolving pour. An Old Fashioned with restrained sweetness and orange bitters is a useful cocktail option, allowing the toasted wood and brown-sugar character to remain prominent. For food, try smoked pork shoulder, roasted duck or mature cheddar; toasted pecans and lightly salted walnuts make complementary snacks. Apple tart, bread pudding or dark chocolate provide dessert pairings that connect with its vanilla, spice and caramel notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buena Vida Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"750mL","offer_id":67602733957175,"sku":null,"price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Jack_Daniel_s_Single_Barrel_Heritage_Barrel_Tennessee_Whiskey.png?v=1794454393","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/jack-daniels-single-barrel-heritage","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
