whisky enthusiasts rejoice—Jack Daniel’s has unveiled the latest addition to its sought-after Coy Hill series: the Single Barrel Special Release Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8. Known for its bold, high-proof offerings, the Coy Hill lineup has been thrilling fans since 2021. The 2024 release continues this tradition, offering a unique combination of rich flavors and intense heat that makes it a standout in the world of Tennessee whisky.
This year’s release boasts an ABV range between 122 and 137.5 proof, depending on the bottle. These barrels are aged in Jack Daniel’s highest-elevation barrelhouse, where the scorching Tennessee summers work their magic. The heat and humidity intensify the aging process, infusing the whisky with deep, complex flavors, including charred oak, caramel, and bananas foster, enhanced by berry compote and butterscotch notes.
Crafted from the same mash bill as Jack Daniel’s classic Old No. 7—80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye—the Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 release is a testament to how the environment can transform whisky. As Jack Daniel’s master distiller, Chris Fletcher, explains, “The unique elements, time, and mother nature have helped craft a whisky with an incredible range of flavors and proofs that would be impossible to replicate.”
One of the key reasons behind the high proof of this release is the climate in Lynchburg, TN. Unlike cooler regions like Scotland, where whisky proof tends to drop as it ages, the intense heat in Tennessee causes more water to evaporate, leaving behind higher concentrations of alcohol. This creates a powerful, full-bodied whisky that packs a punch.
The 2024 Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 is priced at $80 for a 375ml bottle, but don’t be surprised if it becomes hard to find. Previous releases have become hot commodities, with the 2022 edition fetching as much as $2,300 on secondary markets. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a whisky newcomer, this limited-edition release is sure to be a thrilling addition to your collection.
