Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill High Proof Whiskey

Single barrel. 140–160 proof range. From the top floors of Coy Hill barrel house — where the most extreme Tennessee temperature swings produce the most intensely flavored and highest-proof barrels in the Jack Daniel's aging inventory.

Coy Hill is one of Jack Daniel's barrel houses at the Lynchburg, Tennessee distillery — a facility known for the extreme temperature variation between its floors. Barrels on the upper floors of Coy Hill experience the most dramatic summer heat and winter cold cycling of any barrels in the Jack Daniel's system, driving the spirit in and out of the wood with greater intensity than anywhere else on the property. The result is Tennessee Whiskey that reaches much higher natural proof than standard Jack Daniel's barrels, and develops more concentrated flavor from the accelerated extraction.

Coy Hill High Proof is bottled as a single barrel, uncut at the barrel's natural proof — which falls somewhere in the 140–160 proof range depending on the specific barrel. No two bottles are identical. Each barrel number, proof, and tasting profile is unique. This is the most intense and least diluted Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey expression available — the full force of the distillery's most extreme aging environment in a single bottle.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet corn — the Jack Daniel's character amplified dramatically by the high proof and extreme barrel cycling, with dried fruit and brown sugar underneath
• Palate: Powerful and rich — caramel, brown sugar, charred oak, vanilla, and warming spice from the proof; the top-floor aging produces an intensity of flavor that cannot be found in standard single barrel or small batch expressions
• Finish: Long, warm, and assertive — oak and caramel persisting through a deeply satisfying close with lingering dried fruit and spice

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Coy Hill barrels reach such high proofs? Barrels on the upper floors of Coy Hill experience the most extreme temperature cycling in the Jack Daniel's system. Summer heat pushes the whiskey deep into the wood; winter cold pulls it back. The high evaporation rate at upper floors removes water faster than alcohol, naturally concentrating the remaining spirit to very high proof over time. Standard Old No. 7 is 80 proof; Coy Hill barrels can exceed double that.
• Does the proof vary bottle to bottle? Yes — each bottle is from a single barrel bottled at its natural proof. Proofs range from 140 to 160 depending on the specific barrel. The exact proof is documented on each individual bottle label.
• Is this the same as Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof? No — Coy Hill High Proof is specifically sourced from the upper floors of Coy Hill barrel house, which produces higher-proof and more intensely flavored barrels than the standard single barrel program. Standard Barrel Proof ranges 125–140 proof; Coy Hill starts at 140 and goes higher.
