Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye

Main Street Liquor Private Selection

Barrel #26-03916 • Barrel House 2-18 • 129.3 Proof

Selected through the Jack Daniel's Personal Collection Program, this Main Street Liquor Private Selection represents one individual barrel of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye—a whiskey chosen for its distinctive character, remarkable provenance, and exceptional barrel strength.

Every bottle in this release comes exclusively from Barrel #26-03916, matured in Barrel House 2-18 and bottled at its natural barrel proof of 129.3 Proof (64.65% ABV) without dilution. Unlike large batched releases that combine whiskey from multiple barrels, this bottling captures the unique personality of a single barrel, making each pour a genuine expression of one specific maturation environment.

A defining feature of this release is its rarity. According to the production record, only 22 cases were bottled from this individual barrel. Based on a standard six-bottle case configuration, that represents approximately 132 bottles produced from the entire barrel, underscoring the scarcity of this exclusive Main Street Liquor selection.

For collectors and enthusiasts, provenance is part of the story. During the private barrel-selection experience, the significance of Barrel House 2-18 was specifically discussed because of its connection to a previous highly allocated Jack Daniel's release. While this barrel is its own unique selection and should not be confused with any other special release, that documented barrelhouse provenance added meaningful context during the selection process and contributed to why this barrel stood out.

Hand-selected by Main Street Liquor, this bottle is intended for serious Jack Daniel's collectors, barrel-proof whiskey enthusiasts, rye whiskey fans, and anyone who appreciates the individuality that only a true single-barrel whiskey can deliver.

Once Barrel #26-03916 is gone, this exact whiskey can never be recreated.
