For 2021 the Special Release from Jack Daniel’s is known as the Coy Hill High Proof. It can come from one of two barrel houses up on Coy Hill near Lynchburg, #08 or #13.
While the previous Special Release bottles from Jack Daniel’s have been hard to find, this one saw demand like no other. Secondary prices for the bottle appear to be almost 10x retail. I hate to tell you what I paid for mine, not that much, but not much better.
The bottle comes in the familiar single barrel shape, with red labels with gold accents. The neck is unique in that on this bottle they also tell you the “barrel entry” date in addition to the bottling date. This is not something I’ve seen on previous Jack Daniel’s bottles.
It is a beautiful bottle, and if you can get your hands on one, I highly recommend you do. I am currently still on the hunt for another bottle or two so that I can open one up and have a drink!

If you get a chance to pick up this bottle, it is highly recommended that you do so! I know I can find it in St. Louis, though the store that has it is asking $799 for it. If I can find another one around MSRP, or under $300 I will pick another up myself.

Collector Of Jack’s Value Assessment
Coy Hill is one of the hardest to find bottles, if you can get one, you should scoop it up! I may have an extra bottle if you’ve got anything interesting to trade!
