Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021 139.8 Proof

139.8 proof. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021 — uncut, unfiltered hilltop Tennessee whiskey at 139.8 proof, approaching the 140-proof threshold of the standard Barrel Proof ceiling.

Coy Hill is the highest elevation point on the Jack Daniel's Lynchburg campus, where extreme seasonal temperature cycling concentrates the spirit beyond what standard barrelhouses can achieve. At 139.8 proof, this barrel is 0.2 points below the 140-proof threshold — the ceiling of standard Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof, and the floor at which Coy Hill's truly extreme expressions begin.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet corn — the Jack Daniel's character amplified dramatically by hilltop proof concentration, with dried fruit and brown sugar building underneath
• Palate: Powerful and rich — caramel, brown sugar, charred oak, vanilla, and warming spice; upper-floor Coy Hill aging produces an intensity of flavor unavailable in any other Jack Daniel's expression
• Finish: Long, warm, and assertive — oak and caramel persisting with lingering dried fruit and spice well beyond the initial sip

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Coy Hill barrels reach such high proofs? Extreme temperature cycling removes water faster than alcohol, concentrating the spirit. Standard Old No. 7 is 80 proof; Coy Hill can exceed 140 proof.
• How does 139.8 proof compare to standard Barrel Proof? Standard Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof tops out around 140 proof; at 139.8 this barrel sits just below that ceiling, making it one of the most powerful standard-range Coy Hill expressions.
• Is Hazmat shipping required? Below the 140-proof threshold, this bottle ships under standard handling rather than the specialized carrier requirements that apply to 140+ proof Coy Hill barrels.
