Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Tanyard Hill Rye 2025 Release

2025 Release. Single Barrel. Tanyard Hill. Jack Daniel's — a single barrel Tennessee straight rye from Jack Daniel's Tanyard Hill warehouse, the first annual release of the Tanyard Hill Rye program and a historic milestone: straight rye whiskey from the world's best-selling American whiskey distillery, made with the Lincoln County Process.

Jack Daniel's is best known for its Tennessee sour mash whiskey, but the distillery also produces straight rye under the Lincoln County Process — the same charcoal mellowing applied to all Jack Daniel's production. The Tanyard Hill Rye program draws single barrels from the Tanyard Hill warehouse, aging the rye mash through the same extreme barrel cycling that produces the distillery's most concentrated expressions. The result is a rye whiskey with both the spice and grain character of the rye category and the mellowed smoothness that the Lincoln County Process imparts — a combination no other distillery produces.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rye spice, pepper, and grain character with the caramel and vanilla of charcoal-mellowed Tennessee aging — a distinctive combination of rye energy and JD smoothness
• Palate: Spice-forward with cinnamon, pepper, and grain, balanced by caramel sweetness and the Lincoln County mellowing that distinguishes this from any standard straight rye
• Finish: Medium-long with rye spice and oak tapering into a warm, smooth close

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Tanyard Hill Rye different from other straight ryes? The Lincoln County Process — filtering new spirit through sugar maple charcoal before barrel entry — applies to all Jack Daniel's production including the rye. No other major straight rye distillery uses charcoal mellowing, giving Tanyard Hill Rye a distinctive smoothness alongside the rye category's characteristic spice.
• Is this the same as the Hazmat-tier Tanyard Hill Rye? No — the standard 2025 release is the lower-proof entry point. Hazmat-tier barrels at 143.1, 143.4, 146.3, and 148.8 proof are separate single barrel listings at significantly higher proofs.
• Is Tanyard Hill Rye a permanent release? The 2025 Tanyard Hill Rye is an annual limited release, not a permanent expression.
