The Story
144.2 proof. 2021. Coy Hill. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel — a 2021 vintage Coy Hill single barrel at 144.2 proof, one of the highest-proof expressions in the Wooden Cork 2021 Coy Hill collection, exceeding the BTAC GTS 2016 all-time record by 0.1 proof points. 2 bottles in current stock.
Coy Hill is the highest elevation point on the Jack Daniel's Lynchburg campus. At 144.2 proof, this barrel crosses the 144.1-proof BTAC George T. Stagg 2016 record by a single decimal point — technically surpassing the most celebrated all-time bourbon proof record in American whiskey collecting.
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 at extreme barrel concentration
- Finish: Long, warm, and assertive — oak and caramel persisting with lingering dried fruit and spice
