The Story
155.1 proof. Small batch. 375ml. Jack Daniel's Coy Hill Small Batch — the highest-proof Coy Hill expression in the current catalog, a multi-barrel blend of the most extreme hilltop barrels at 155.1 proof (77.55% ABV), one of the most powerful commercially released American whiskeys in existence.
155.1 proof places this Coy Hill Small Batch above virtually every commercially released American whiskey in the historical record. The BTAC George T. Stagg 2016 all-time record was 144.1 — this exceeds it by 11 proof points. The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and William Larue Weller programs have never reached 155. At 155.1, the Coy Hill Small Batch enters territory that almost no whiskey brand has publicly released — the product of years of extreme hilltop cycling in Coy Hill's barrel house compounding into a concentration of Tennessee whiskey character and proof that defies what most bourbon or Tennessee enthusiasts would expect from Jack Daniel's.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Extraordinarily concentrated — caramelized sugar at maximum intensity, dark dried fruit, deep charred oak, vanilla, brown sugar, leather, and corn sweetness compressed into a powerfully aromatic pour
- Palate: The most intense Coy Hill expression available — caramel, dark cherry, deep oak char, brown sugar, and cinnamon at full concentration; the Lincoln County charcoal mellowing is present but the proof demands water for full appreciation
- Finish: Extraordinarily long and persistent — deep charred oak, caramel, dried fruit, and intense warming spice that linger for minutes after the glass is set down

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is 155.1 proof the highest commercial American whiskey proof ever released? It is among the highest ever released by a major American whiskey brand. Very few whiskeys from mainstream distilleries have publicly reached 155+ proof at commercial scale.
- Is water required at 155.1 proof? Strongly recommended — at 77.55% ABV the alcohol vapor on the nose is intense and the palate impact is extreme. Adding 10–20 drops of water dramatically transforms the pour and allows the Coy Hill character to emerge fully.
- Is Hazmat shipping required? Yes — 155.1 proof is far above the 140-proof hazmat threshold. Specialized carrier handling is required.
