Releases by Year

From Heritage Barrel to Coy Hill and Twice Barreled experiments, here’s the year-by-year lineup.

2018 — Heritage Barrel

The inaugural Annual Special Release. Single Barrel ‘Heritage Barrel’—100 proof, heavy toast + char profile.

2019 — Heritage Barrel (2nd Release)

Heritage Barrel returns for a limited run; again bottled at 100 proof with deeper toasted barrel influence.

2020 — Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye

A high-octane rye entry (barrel proof) that kicked the series into overdrive for rye lovers.

2021 — Coy Hill High Proof

Notorious high proofs from Coy Hill barrelhouses—among the most potent Tennessee whiskeys released.

2022 — Twice Barreled American Single Malt

100% malted barley, charcoal mellowed, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks—Jack’s take on American single malt.

2023 — Twice Barreled Heritage Barrel Rye

Rye whiskey matured, then re-barreled into newly toasted (not charred) oak for added depth and color.

2024 — Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8

Coy Hill returns—this time sourced exclusively from Barrelhouse #8 with robust, lower-than-2021 proofs.

2025 — TBD

The 2025 Annual Special Release has not been announced as of Sep 13, 2025—check back for updates.
