Process & Profile

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel 2024 Special Release Coy Hill returns to one of the most sought-after locations on the Jack Daniel Distillery property with a limited collection of barrel-proof single barrels from Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8.

The 2024 release begins with Jack Daniel’s traditional Tennessee Whiskey mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. After distillation, the whiskey undergoes the Lincoln County Process, slowly mellowing through sugar maple charcoal before entering new, charred American white oak barrels.

These barrels were filled in September 2013 and matured on the fifth and sixth floors of Barrelhouse 8, located on Coy Hill, the highest-elevation area of the Jack Daniel Distillery. By the time they were selected for the 2024 release, the whiskeys had matured for nearly 11 years.

Each bottle comes from an individual barrel and is bottled at barrel strength, so proof varies considerably. Across the complete 2024 release, bottles range from 122 to 137.5 proof, equal to 61%–68.75% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Caramel, vanilla, candied fruit, baking spices, cinnamon, clove, and mature oak

Palate: Rich toffee, molasses, dark brown sugar, caramelized fruit, vanilla, baking spice, and charred oak

Finish: Long and powerful with dark brown sugar, charred oak, cinnamon, clove, and lingering barrel spice

What Makes It Special

The 2024 Coy Hill release is significant because it returns Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Special Release series to the famous Coy Hill aging location while presenting a different side of the warehouses than earlier Coy Hill bottlings.

The celebrated 2021 Coy Hill release drew extremely high-proof barrels from the uppermost areas of Barrelhouses 8 and 13. For 2024, Jack Daniel’s focused specifically on Barrelhouse 8 and its fifth and sixth floors, allowing the whiskey to mature for nearly 11 years while still developing exceptionally concentrated barrel-proof character.

Every bottle is a true single barrel, meaning individual bottles can differ in proof and flavor. The full 122–137.5 proof range reflects the natural variation between barrels rather than a standardized bottling strength.

The location is also essential to the release. Coy Hill sits at the highest elevation on the Jack Daniel Distillery property, where dramatic seasonal temperature changes encourage significant interaction between whiskey and oak.

Combined with almost 11 years of maturation, barrel-proof bottling, and limited single-barrel availability, the 2024 Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 release offers collectors and high-proof Tennessee whiskey drinkers a distinctly different expression of the classic Jack Daniel’s recipe.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Jack Daniel’s 2024 Coy Hill neat in a Glencairn or other whiskey tasting glass to experience the full concentration of caramel, dark sugar, fruit, spice, and mature oak.

Because individual barrels range from 122 to 137.5 proof, the drinking experience will vary from bottle to bottle. Higher-proof barrels may benefit from several drops of water, which can soften the alcohol intensity and reveal additional caramel, fruit, vanilla, chocolate, and baking-spice character.

Allowing the whiskey to rest for several minutes after pouring can also help its deeper aromas develop before tasting.

Given its limited nature and single-barrel variation, comparing bottles from different proof points can offer a particularly interesting look at how location and individual barrel maturation influence Coy Hill whiskey.
