Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021 141.7 Proof

141.7 proof. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill 2021 — uncut, unfiltered hilltop Tennessee whiskey at 141.7 proof, among the highest-proof barrels in the lower-proof tier of the Wooden Cork Coy Hill 2021 collection.

Coy Hill is the highest elevation point on the Jack Daniel's Lynchburg campus, where extreme seasonal temperature cycling drives the spirit deep into American oak and concentrates the remaining liquid far beyond standard barrel proof levels. At 141.7 proof, this barrel crosses the 140-proof threshold that marks the floor of Coy Hill's extreme range — 1.7 points above the standard Barrel Proof ceiling.

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 at the hilltop removes water faster than alcohol, concentrating the spirit. Standard Old No. 7 is 80 proof; Coy Hill can exceed 140 proof.
• Is 141.7 proof hazmat? Yes — federal regulations classify spirits above 140 proof as hazmat for shipping purposes. At 141.7 proof, this barrel clears the threshold by 1.7 points.
