Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof Heroes Selection

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Heroes Selection — a special barrel proof single barrel Tennessee Whiskey selected to honor military heroes, bottled at 126.2 proof with a distinctive nose of mashed ripened bananas, brown sugar, and vanilla from one of the distillery's finest upper-floor barrels.

The Heroes Selection is a charitable barrel proof single barrel that Jack Daniel's released in support of military and first responder organizations. Like all Barrel Proof Single Barrel expressions, the whiskey was selected from the upper floors of the Lynchburg rickhouses, where extreme temperature cycling drives the spirit deep into the charred American oak and naturally concentrates it to above-standard proof levels. At 126.2 proof, this barrel delivers the full intensity of upper-floor Jack Daniel's character while retaining the charcoal-mellowed smoothness that the Lincoln County Process provides.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Oak, nutty, mint, and brown sugar — the full-proof intensity of a Barrel Proof single barrel with the depth of an upper-floor selection
• Finish: Long and warming with clove, sweet tobacco, and persistent oak at 126.2 proof
