The Jack Daniel Distillery has introduced Jack Daniel’s Bonded Rye Whiskey as the newest member of its Bonded Series.
This is Tennessee rye whiskey bottled at 100 proof, the first rye whiskey from the Jack Daniel Distillery with the Bottled-in-Bond designation.
As stipulated by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, a bonded whiskey must be distilled by a single distiller during a single season, matured in a government bonded warehouse for at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof.
“The Bottled-in-Bond designation on Jack Daniel’s Bonded Rye is another stamp of quality, assuring consumers that every drop of our whiskey is made right here in Lynchburg at the Jack Daniel Distillery with the highest standards possible,” says Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller. “Bonded Rye features our uniquely crafted rye grain bill at 100 proof, delivering a unique and balanced profile that drinkers have come to expect and seek out from our rye releases.”
Jack Daniel’s Bonded Rye has a grain bill of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley. It is charcoal mellowed before aging in new, handmade American white oak barrels.
Opening notes of dried fruit precede lingering hints of toffee before a rye spice finish, the company reports.
With packaging inspired by the original design of the 1895 Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey bottle, Jack Daniel’s Bonded Rye is available in 700-ml. bottles across the U.S. for a suggested retail price of $31.99. It is also available on ReserveBar, including a limited-edition Jack Daniel’s gift item while supplies last.
This follows the recent release of Jack Daniel’s Twice Barreled Special Release American Single Malt Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks.
