The Story
146.3 proof. 2025. Hazmat. Tanyard Hill. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye — at 146.3 proof, this Tanyard Hill barrel surpasses the BTAC George T. Stagg 2016 all-time record of 144.1 by 2.2 points, the second-highest proof Tanyard Hill Rye in the 2025 catalog.
The 2025 Tanyard Hill Rye Hazmat program at 146.3 proof delivers the full intensity of what extreme barrel concentration produces in Jack Daniel's rye whiskey — years of the Tanyard Hill warehouse cycling driving the spirit to a proof that places it among the rarest commercially available straight ryes at any distillery. The Lincoln County Process sets the Tanyard Hill Hazmat barrels apart from every comparable barrel-proof rye program in the country: the charcoal mellowing that Jack Daniel's applies before barrel entry is present even at 146.3 proof, imparting a smoothness that barrel-proof Kentucky ryes at equivalent proofs cannot match.
