Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel 2025 Special Release Tanyard Hill Rye 142.3 Proof Hazmat

Straight Tennessee Rye Whiskey | 71.15% ABV (142.3 Proof) | 700 mL | Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA | Mashbill: 70% Rye, 18% Corn, 12% Malted Barley | Single Barrel | Hazmat-Level Barrel Proof

Process & Profile

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel 2025 Special Release Tanyard Hill Rye 142.3 Proof represents one of the most powerful and concentrated rye expressions ever released by the distillery. Made from the high-rye mashbill of 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% malted barley, the whiskey is charcoal-mellowed before aging to ensure a smooth grain foundation despite the intensity of proof. Barreled in November 2015, this single-barrel release matured for nearly a decade in the upper tiers of Warehouse 1 on Tanyard Hill — the heat-rich, top-floor environment known for producing deeply extracted, heavy-oak barrels. Bottled at its natural 142.3 proof “Hazmat” strength, this release showcases undiluted Tennessee rye character at maximum concentration.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Dark cherry, fig, seasoned oak, tobacco leaf, brown sugar and rye spice intensity.
Palate: Explosive heat layered with candied mint, dark chocolate, roasted grain, charred oak, clove and dried fruit depth.
Finish: Very long, tannic and warming, with waves of spice, oak, leather and sweet tobacco lingering on the palate.

What Makes It Special

• Hazmat-level 142.3 proof — one of the highest proofs ever released by Jack Daniel’s.

• Nearly 10 years aging on the top floors of Tanyard Hill’s Warehouse 1, known for extreme maturation conditions.

• Made from Jack Daniel’s rye mashbill of 70% rye, delivering a bold, spice-forward backbone.

• True single-barrel bottling with no dilution, no blending, and no chill filtration.

• Part of the prestigious 2025 Special Release lineup, appealing to collectors and high-proof enthusiasts.

How to Enjoy

Due to its hazmat-level strength, this whiskey is best enjoyed slowly and intentionally. Sip neat in a Glencairn to explore the concentrated aromas, or add a few drops of water to unlock deeper layers of oak, fruit, and spice. A single large ice sphere can help soften the heat without muting the structure. This release pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate, roasted pecans, cured meats, or rich desserts that balance its intensity.
