Released

Each bottle of Coy Hill Rye, Jack Daniel's 2026 Single Barrel Special Release, holds Tennessee rye whiskey from a single barrel that aged in Barrelhouse 13 on Coy Hill, the highest point of the distillery's grounds in Lynchburg. Its mash was 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley; after charcoal mellowing, the spirit was filled into new, charred American white oak in 2016 and stayed on the hill for ten years before it was bottled uncut at barrel proof. Jack Daniel's announced the release on 20 October 2026 for select stores nationwide, in 700 mL bottles.

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

The rye mash. The Coy Hill single barrels of 2021 and 2024 were Tennessee whiskey from Old No. 7's grain bill, 80% corn; this one is drawn from Jack Daniel's rye mash of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley.

Barrelhouse 13. The label strip names Barrelhouse 13 atop Coy Hill. With #8, it was one of the two Coy Hill houses behind the 2021 Coy Hill High Proof.

Filled in 2016. After charcoal mellowing, the spirit went into new, charred American white oak barrels in 2016, and Jack Daniel's puts its time atop Coy Hill at ten years.

Uncut, single barrel. Every bottle holds the whiskey of one barrel, uncut and at barrel proof as the label states, with its proof and percent alcohol written in by hand.

After Tanyard Hill. Jack Daniel's 2025 Single Barrel Special Release was Tanyard Hill Rye; the 2026 release stays with rye and returns the series to Coy Hill.

A 700 mL bottle. Jack Daniel's sells the 2026 release in 700 mL bottles; the 2021 Coy Hill High Proof came in 750 mL.

Coy Hill Turns to Rye

Announced 20 October 2026

Coy Hill's releases began in 2021 with Coy Hill High Proof, single barrels drawn from houses #8 and #13 on the hill. The 2022 Small Batch Coy Hill High Proof came next and, in 2024, the Barrelhouse 8 single barrel. In 2025 the Single Barrel Special Release went to Tanyard Hill for a rye, and in April 2026 the Special Release Small Batch Rye sold at the distillery's White Rabbit Bottle Shop counted two Coy Hill batches among its five. The 2026 single barrel joins the two lines: Jack Daniel's rye, matured in Barrelhouse 13. Master distiller Chris Fletcher spoke of returning to Coy Hill to show the distillery's Tennessee rye, and credited the hill's conditions and more than a decade in barrel for the whiskey's character.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Jack Daniel's 2026 note & position

Sensory Profile

Orchard fruit and honey lead Jack Daniel's 2026 note, with toasted oak beneath. Citrus sweetness follows on the palate with light molasses, black tea and oak, and the finish, which Jack Daniel's says shifts slightly from barrel to barrel, settles on sweet rye and barrel spice.

Strategic Position

Coy Hill Rye follows Coy Hill's 2024 single barrel, filled in September 2013, which aged Old No. 7's grain bill in Barrelhouse 8; the 2026 release brings Jack Daniel's rye mash to Barrelhouse 13. That house links it to the 2021 single barrels, some of them from Barrelhouse 13, making the rye a return to one of the two sources of the first Coy Hill release.

Rye kin at Lynchburg

Jack Daniel's 70% rye mash also stands behind the 2023 Twice Barreled rye, likewise 70% rye in the mash, which took a second maturation of more than two years in heavily toasted Heritage Barrels after its first aging in new oak.

Records & Assurance

Production Methodology
