I tried a bottle of the Jack Daniels bonded Rye a few months ago. I didn't care for it. Went to my local Total Wine a few days ago and found this single barrel, barrel proof rye for $65.00. It had NEVER been available before. I decided to try it. It was bottled in May 2024. got it home and tried it. I found it just as good as you described. Very good! I may have gotten the last bottle on the shelf. A few days passed and I was at the same Total Wine store looking for something else. They had one last bottle of this Rye on the shelf. It was from the same barrel as the one I bought a few days ago. I bought it. I'm very pleased with this barrel of Rye. At 136º, I don't get the ethanol burn. Very smooth and full of flavor as you described. I tried a bottle of the Jack Daniels single barrel, barrel proof Bourbon a year or so ago. I prefer this Rye to the Barrel proof Bourbon.
It would be close for me, but id like to put them in a head to head blind. See which one I like most. Cheers!
I grabbed a bottle for 65. Bottled April 2024 at 135.7 proof. Fresh crack this evening. Sweetness and a little of that rye note (mint is what I got). First sip..sweetness is in full effect at front palate. Mid palate gets hit with the spice and a bit of dryness from the proof. Goes down very smooth with just a faint Kentucky hug. Long finish..quite enjoyable. After 20 minutes in the glass, it's earthy candy in a glass...like brown butter brittle..just a faint touch of that mint/rye note which is a nice contrast. No more dryness mid palate..just silky smooth. Does not drink like its 135 proof.
This expression could change the mind of anyone who says they don't enjoy rye. My tip..take a couple of sips and then let it open up for 20 minutes and come back to it. You'll be pleasantly surprised how it keeps giving you something different. .
My sister and I just did a bottle battle episode and this was one of the samples in the battle. Crazy good stuff. Cheers!
Idk if this would change people's mind about Rye. Not because it isn't amazing, but no other Ryes even remotely resemble JDSBBP. The flavor profile is incredibly unique.
Grabbed a bottle for $65.99 (In Kentucky) at 136.8 proof, and I tried it on my local's recommendation. He knows I'm not a rye guy, I actually hate rye most of the time; But this stuff Jack is putting out is incredible. It's got some FIRE to it, but I let it breathe for around ten minutes sitting neat in a glass with two small ice cubes. Totally unleashed the flavor and man, I can't get enough. I really hope we start seeing it more commonly around the country. Everybody should try this at least once.
I'm right there with you. I'm really enjoying it. I think it's one of the best affordable bottles on the market right now. Cheers!
i love higher proofs and yeah this bottle is a must have
I'm a little shocked that they are now readily available at local liquor stores when they were super hard to find a few months ago.
I’m loving JD’s single barrel rye whiskey and I AM A HUGE RYE fan btw. When I found this on the shelf today at Total Wines I was smitten and had to have it. 😮 Besides alone, it is KILLER in a JD and coke mixed drink with ice and lemon! 🍋 👌🏽💯 Thank you for your video! A pleasure to watch!
Thanks for watching. It's a fantastic bottle for sure and I'm happy it's sitting on shelves still. Let's hope it stays that way.
This is #1 for me when it comes to Ryes. Absolute flavor monster.
Agreed. Such a good offering. Cheers!
@@whiskeyisajourney Yes!!
Totally agree I found 1 at 137.5 proof still waiting to crack it open.
@@BamaBourbonNick
When I first got it, I just looked at it until payday!!!
@@marlonious7650 yea I have a 130.5 proof open so I’m slowly drinking that 1 down before I crack open another
At SRP, JD BP Rye is unbeatable. It is the GOAT of shelfers.
The more I have it the more I agree with that statement. Cheers!
One of my favorites!
It's turning out to be a lot of people's favorite. It's a good one for sure. Cheers!
Great review. This is such a great rye that I bought 3. The best I have had was a total wine store pick.
This ranks up there as the best rye I've ever had and I'm not the biggest fan of rye. Still looking for a store pick.
I see this sitting on the shelf at Costco for the last couple months, under 60 pretax
If you haven't picked it up yet get it. That's a good price and it's a good rye. Cheers!
I buy these when ever I see them, as far as Ryes go Roulette rye $23, Willett 4 year, New Riff balboa rye and the Prideful Goat 6 year. Cheers 🍻
Prideful Goat just hit my market. I need to pick up a bottle.
This is my favorite RYE right now! Love this video, your flavor explanations are right on. Great Video!
Never had a bad bottle of this and I've had 3.
Thanks! It certainly is a great bottle. Cheers!
I picked up a bottle last week for $66. Liked it so much I went back and purchased a backup. Thanks for the great review!
I'm happy that you like it. It's probably my favorite rye. What's the proof of your bottles?
@@whiskeyisajourney 130.4
Hi Peter I’m a huge fan of JD’s triple mash it is the best JD product that I’ve had for the money it’s a blend of there bonded Tennessee whiskey bonded rye and bonded single malt and it’s great and it’s rather affordable! And btw this is my new favorite whiskey channel I like the way you review whiskey!
Thanks Chad. I appreciate it. I think I need to get the triple mash and the bonded rye. Cheers!
I'm relatively new to rye whiskey and have tried to stick in the 51-70% range to start. A little nervous trying the 90%+ ryes! Love Pikesville and the newish JD Bonded Rye (same mashbill I believe as this one). I'd have to say this JD SBBP Rye is by far my favorite to date!!! Love your content!
I was very happy with this bottle and not being a rye fan I was shocked I like it as much as I did. I am going to put this bottle into my sample pool with Pikesville and Russell's Reserve rye and see how it does. Cheers and thanks!
@@whiskeyisajourney Oh yeah, I did try the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye... not bad at all, but I prefer the other 3 so far.
They must be sending all the good JDBP Rye out west, lol. Every one I've tasted so far has some combination of banana, ethanol, varnish or burnt sugar notes, alongside the pleasant notes you mentioned in your review. Even the 94 proof JD SiB Rye has a small bit of astringency. I will say I like JDBP Rye on the whole, and I feel like its price and flavor profile match pretty well. But none I've tasted have matched the 2020 LE JD Rye release. I think JD would of been better doing a batch barrel proof Rye product to have more consistency. The bonded rye is a testament to that.
Otherwise, would be cool to see you do a JD flight fight at some point.
What's wrong with ethanol, varnish, and burnt sugar? Kidding. A flight of JD might be something I will do later in the year. Cheers!
Yes, they should do batches with age statements & save SiB for picks only..
Also, JD says the 1st release of the Bonded Rye is 7yr, so wonder if a lot of the Brl Prf rye are also near the 7yr age, or at least 4.
Peter great review. I agree with your evaluation. The single barrel releases are generally fantastic. Understanding the single barrel means you can and will find variability. I can drive an hour and a half and be at the distillery. Its nice to see the coy hill and newer rye releases. Jack is making a strong push to keep up with the KY boys.
My favorites are the single barrel barrel proof releases.
I have a coy hill in my samples. I am looking forward to that coming up in a sip or skip episode. I am not sure what number it is in my samples, but I think it's will be obvious when it hits my mouth. It will light me UP!
In response to the age question you asked;
From what I understand w the TTB rules/laws, All "whiskey" aged less than 4yrs Must have an age statement. Though, it has only been enforced on bottles labelled as "Straight" whiskey, particularly straight bourbon.
That is why JD resisted being labeled a bourbon or being forced to label it as "straight" even though it is, because they did not want to put the 2yr age on the old no 7 bottles.
That is when they mainly or only made the Old no 7 from 90P, to currently 80P. That whiskey is aged ~2 yrs & IF they were forced to call it "straight" or a "bourbon" they would have to put the 2yr age on the labels, which they know would be a killer for sales.
While these SiB ryes could be 4-7yr now, in a cpl yrs or less (depending on sales) they could be 2yrs w/o notice.
It seems that many of the current JD Brl Prf shelf bottles are under 4 yrs, based of taste, color, especially when compared to the Rye.. I poured a 2024 Brl Prf Rye & 2024 Brl Prf TN whiskey into 50mL bottles (same type) & was amazed how much visibly darker the rye was, when looking through that small amount of whiskey. The rye was 3.3P higher, which is not enough to make that much of a difference or any, being that both have No water added after being barreled.
Thanks. That is all very good information. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it. Cheers!
Nice review. I am not a big rye guy, but someone gifted me a bottle that is 128.7 proof. I liked it and then ran into a bottle that was 133.1 proof for $65 and picked it up. 🥃
There is one sitting on the shelf at Total Wine in my area coming in at 135 proof. I thought about picking it up but decided not to.
Hi Peter! In my whiskey journey I put JD on the back burner too long (thinking of the old JD & coke variety). I have to tell you, I not only love the rye version, but bought their whiskey SBBP (more than one) and love them. I was very surprised how similar they were in taste and smell. They've done a great job of keeping the profiles close, even though they're single barrels. I enjoy reviews like this one... as all single barrels are different and seeing you have the same experience as I did (mine was only 127.3) keeps me wanting to buy them without too much worry of the barrel I may get.
I was in the same situation as you. I avoided JD because of the Jack and Coke thing. It was not until these "special" bottles came out that I decided to give it a shot. Glade I did.
Top 3 ryes for me, especially for the price. I've gone through 4 bottles since last year. Two were stores picks. But there was one, non store pick, that had a beautiful strawberry and cream note with some banana. It was amazing! I've also had them vs the special release from a couple years ago and prefer these more.
Costco just got them and are going for $57.99. I think I will be picking up a bottle very soon. The special release did not do so well in your blind? Interesting. Now I don't feel so bad not tasting it. Cheers!
I am Canadian, so I tend to gravitate towards rye and love this bottle. Picked it up here in Denver for the same price as out in Phoenix, $74.99 well spent.
What other rye bottles do you also like?
@@whiskeyisajourney I have the Alberta Premium cask strength 66% abc, but find it's quite hot! But do enjoy my Crown Royal Noble Collection 16 year. I have been keeping an eye out for the Proof and Woods The Senator and their 8 year Presidential Dram after hearing the great reviews about their Representative bourbon.
I like this Rye! I do prefer a spicier 💯 or 95/5 Rye with a lot more dill and mint but I do have this Rye at home and it’s a nice pour. My husband loves it! It’s about $150 locally before taxes. I know - yikes! I think it’s a bit expensive. I’d be much happier paying what you paid for it Peter!! lol!! It doesn’t drink as intensely as I thought it would! 53ABV is about my limit for enjoying a spirit without adding water. This one sips nicely even at a much higher ABV!! Fabulous review Peter! I always look forward to them!! Cheers! 🥂
Thanks. There is a new Rye in my area that just showed up. Prideful Goat. It's cask strength and I think I might pick it up and do a comparison with this bottle. I need to get more rye offerings in my collection.
@@whiskeyisajourney Hey Peter I am super excited to hear about the Prideful Goat! What a terrific name!! I love it! I would love to see a comparison between the JD Single Barrel and the Prideful Goat! I will be looking to find this Rye! Exciting - very!! I hope you are super well - and family!! :-)czcams.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f642.png
Like this bottle not a JD drinker most of the time. But these SBBP bottles are fantastic. The rye gives me notes of horseradish on the palate but it’s a traditional rye on the nose and you know it is a rye without question. And the higher proofed bottles are better for me. I had a 125 and it was ok but the 130+ are just better. Yeah on the rye I get zero banana taste but on the whiskey it’s there. Their bonded bottles are also pretty good. Great review. Enjoy!!
I agree. These bourbon and rye SBBP offerings are good and worth a try. Cheers!
I'm also in Phoenix - was able to get the Rye and the Bourbon from Total Wine delivered a couple of weeks back. Both such great products and really cool to see them on the shelves.
I'm definitely happy that they are both available. At least for the past few months. Cheers!
Nice review! My bottle is a hot burnt flavored astringent mess! I bought it about a year ago and It’s half gone and had plenty of time to open up. It’s 135.8 proof. I need to get a pour of someone’s to compare.
Get the bottle from the BevMo with the better price. 😊
I have not seen the JDSBBP Rye in any of our stores. I can get the standard SB, the Tennessee Rye and the Bonded Rye. I just picked up the Bonded Rye and I think it’s fantastic. As it stands it’s one of my favorite ryes that I own.
Based on what people are saying about the Bonded rye I think I need to give it a try.
Another solid review Peter.
I can’t stand Jack Daniels #7 and that , like a lot of folks, turned me off Jack products for decades. I do not like bananas so Jack Daniels & Old Forester are bottles that are very limited on my bar.
That said I absolutely love the Jack Daniels SiB BP Rye and it is always opened and has backups.
The Bonded Rye is just ok for me and not a bottle I keep around but the 12yr and ,surprisingly, a the Sinatra I enjoy tremendously
The 10 and 12 have eluded me the past 2 years. Maybe I will get my hands on a bottle eventually. I've heard good things about both, but apparently depends on the year as to which one is better. The rye is great regardless. Cheers and thanks.
Nice pricing on that bottle. I’ve seen these around civilian stores and have had some samples. I enjoy them a lot, but they’re usually 100+ before tax. Ouch!
$100+ Ouch is right. I just saw that Costco has them for $57.99. I hope you are able to get one at a lower cost. Cheers!
Nice review, Peter! I was a little hesitant to try this given that it is a rye and super high proof, but glad that I did! A ton of flavor and really strong experience. Cheers!
I was hesitant as well because it was a rye, but I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Cheers!
I’m in the Phoenix area as well and have been exploring more Ryes as the summer heat creeps up on us. I think an interesting flight idea would be Emerald Giant/Jack Bonded Rye/Emerald Giant CS/ Jack SBBP Rye. Similar price points for two different distillers and gradually increase proofs as you go
Have you been seeing the SBBP rye on the shelves in Phoenix? I am seeing them all the time at the Total Wine stores. Thanks for the flight idea.
@@whiskeyisajourney yes I’ve seen it quite a bit at TW and local liquor stores recently. The Emerald Giant CS is the only one of the 4 that isn’t a “shelfer” if you don’t have one in your collection already. I will likely try this blind myself soon
Mine came across as chocolate and mint like some other ryes. I’ve noticed most people are sipping 130+ proof on these, but mine was only 126.8.
I have not seen a bottle under 130 yet. When I see one sub 130 I will pick it up and see if there is a flavor profile difference.
Love this rye. I have a Fred Minnick pick and it is outstanding.
Like I said in the video I am very happy with this bottle and it's good to know it will be a core release.
Sadly, I have no Rye whiskies in my collection. I will go through your Rye reviews and try to pick one of your recommendations (if they're available here).
I hope you find a good one. Cheers!
I just bought my first JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye earlier this week. She is not available in my neck of the woods. I'm in Phoenix at the moment. I am reminded dach time I visit that Phoenix has a much, much better selection than Seattle.
Nice! What brings you to Phoenix?
@@whiskeyisajourney - born and raised here. ASU class of 91. All my family lives in Arizona. Unfortunately, we had a funeral to attend. But it was very good to spend the week with family.
@@Abby_Normal_1969 I remember you mentioning that before. Sorry about the reason you were here. My mother passed away this year in January and had her celebration of life two weeks ago. Rough times. I wish you the best. Safe travels back. Cheers!
@@whiskeyisajourney - Thanks. Sincere condolences, my friend.
JD battle would be fun to watch.....Yes please....
You got it. I will do a First Friday Flight Fight on July 5th. I need to get the GlenDronach flight in June first.
Took me two years to find and now they are easier to find and priced well below $95. I got a store pick for $59!
Nice price on the store pick. I hope it's a good one. Cheers!
Added comment, mine was 95.00 and nobody had any around but one store. Now they are all over for 95.00 and BevMo has them for 69.00
I like the BevMo price better.
Thank you for the review! I have not had JD SB BP Rye yet. But I am now surprised as the mash bill is relatively high Rye and does not contain a whole lot of corn, yet still carried a lot of sweetness. I am wondering where this came from, maybe from the charred oak? Now I am very curious to see how it compares with a low-Rye bottle, such as the Russelle's Reserve Single Barrel Rye or Pikesville Rye. Thanks again and I like this new series/reviews!
I am going to put this and the Russell's rye in my blind sample pool to see how it does.
In NY I get a wide choice of 100% craft ryes. And at cask strength there's usually more sweetness than spice. The special edition SBBP of 2020 blows them all away. I was collecting ECBP and store pick bourbons but a good sweet rye is my domestic jam. I thrill with the risk that it might be minty and sharp and flop for me.
Some of the JD age stated releases are probably pretty good but the prices by me are a little crazy. I am always looking for 1 of these regular SBBP at retail and yet to spot one. Cause I need another bottle of barrel proof rye, hahaha
A lot of people said that the 2020 release was amazing. If this bottle is as good as it is I can only imagine how good the other one was.
@@whiskeyisajourney I figure if these new standard releases are 85% of that first one then they are certainly worth keeping on the shelf for $70-75.
I'm just looking at the 10 year old for $195, the 13 year old for $330 and the 100 proof Heritage release for $245 that are out of my range. The new $50 bottle might make good content. I'm not curious enough to buy them myself.
I might do $100 for the single malt if I see it again
I wonder if the same would be said of the lower proof JD SB BP Rye. In my area these go for $67 before tax but we never get the higher proof ones. The selectors of the single barrels in our area always pick 127 to 129 proof.
I have not seen a sub 130 proof bottle yet. Once I do I will pick it up and see if the profile is different.
Thank you for another great review. I've had only the regular single barrel rye, and with that one I have mixed relationships. On the nose it's great, in the finish it's relatively long and lovely, but in the mid palate it feels little thin and alcoholic. What are your thoughts on that one?
I can't comment on that one. I have not had it yet. I am thinking of getting the other rye offerings soon and putting them into my blind samples.
@@whiskeyisajourney That's great, looking forward. I'm also thinking of getting one of those better rye's.
Where is the comment section? 😂
Also not a rye fan (scotch, bourbon/Irish in that order). I enjoy Lost Monarch bourye. I also like the Balcones Rye. Also not a traditional rye and very much a breakfast type. I did like Sazerac for the money but it’s supposed to be a low-rye rye.
I have such a strong dislike of JD old no 7, that I’ve generally avoided their products. I did have a chance to try a mini of the Single Barrel Select. Better than the 7 but not good enough to impel me to investigate further. I do keep hearing that this product and the single Barrel Select Barrel Proof are a “absolutely” worth a try.
I avoided JD for a long time, but these SBBP are worth a try.
As my palate has matured, JD SBBP rye and bourbon have become less interesting. Actually they are pretty good values and both taste rather powerful but for me it's the note I get from the sugar maple charcoal mellowing process that I find not appealing. Funny that I also notice this same note in Old Forester 1920 so the JDs and OF are all on the skip list.
What profile do you prefer? Are you a Jim Beam fan or Buffalo Trace. It took me a while to warm up to the nutty profile of Beam, but now I really like it.
JDSBBPR is the best value in Rye. Period
At this moment I have to agree with you on that! It's fantastic stuff at a great price. Cheers!
Absolute drain pour....this whisky is poop 😉
That's unfortunate.
@@whiskeyisajourney It's that I want to keep this one on the down low....the good thing it has going for it is that it's a RYE...no one likes rye? Right...so there's hope it stays that way.
Oh I gotcha. 😜 I'm a little slow.
@@whiskeyisajourney I remember Stagg Jr. on the shelf for MSRP in 2018...I've had to console myself ever since with cask strength JD SiB since.
