Just reading the title, my first thought was New Riff Single Barrel, especially for the price for an “everyday” bottle. I’ve had multiple single barrel bottles and I haven’t been disappointed yet. They’ve all been between 107-116 proof.
I’m have heard great things about New Riff Single Barrel but had not tried it. I picked one up the other day, and I’m sad to say it wasn’t great. Not gonna give up though, I will keep tryng.
Gold Label Jack D SB is everywhere in Texas. That and Bakers 7 are my favorites on this list, love them both especially the Bakers that lean towards 9 yrs not 7.
I’ll go against the crowd regarding Dickel 15 year. Yes it has the characteristic mineral note but it works for me as one element of many in the overall experience. Sometimes I feel bourbon can be a little monotonous so I really appreciate when a distillery brings a unique experience. That probably explains why I’ve been moving to American single malts and Irish whiskeys lately.
John J Bowman SB has now moved to an allocated bottle here in VA .. kinda wish everyone on RUclips would stop singing its praises so I wouldn’t have to run out to a store drop to MAYBE grab a bottle I used to be able to pick up when I needed one AND I see those Dickel 15s all the time in VA but it’s always 80-84 proofers … keep hoping to stumble across a triple digit proof
JD SBBP is available here in PA. Also, I think the KC is 120 proof but not actually cask strength. Remember being able to buy 13-15yo KC SB for $39.99. Really miss those days. Should have bought them by the case. Who knew??
Just found two bottles of Evan Williams here in Las Vegas for $33. 2015 vintage. Long absent out here. Glad to see this back in distribution (even though it may be for only a short period of time). Great bottle.
Yes, I have the JD sbbp 127.1 proof. Found on the shelf for $69. I picked up an Old Forester single barrel, barrel strength, also on the shelf, Whs H, Floor 6, 126.1 Proof store pick for $99. I love them both! The old forester is a brown sugar bomb! I would love to see your best Old forester sbbp vs your best JD sbbp in a blind. Love the channel and content. Thanks!
I live in central Texas and I can find single barrel barrel proof jack at any liquor store around. The best most of the stuff I’m getting now is over 130. Also the rye is every where now too
FYI - the EW Single Barrel has been opened back up to distribution outside of KY. Here in Houston, TX, it started popping up all over the place last week and one of my local stores has 5 cases sitting on the floor. It's definitely not old stock as the bottle I picked up today was bottled - 2/13/24 and my guess is they weren't selling enough in KY so they opened distribution back up. Glad to see it available again outside of KY as it's a solid bottle. Also, I'm guessing they are more expensive in KY as it was $35 out the door here locally.
In my area,N Ga/Tenn, JD single barrel barrel proof isn’t everywhere but the stores that have it seem to have gotten a lot. The select is always being pushed by stores. As. For.McKenna,2places. Last week 2 places wanted $95 &$99 for them. In Ga they are regularly 60 and easily found.
I can find JD SBBP and Rye readily in Virginia. They've flooded our market with it, and I couldn't be happier. I have a 129 proof bourbon and 134 proof rye. Unreal banana bread goodness.
I bought my first bottle of FRSB last month, and I completely agree that it is way underrated. I liked it better than the small batch select, which seems to get more love than the SB.
JDBP has been readily available on shelves in recent months in the Colorado Springs, CO area. We also recently got a big drop of the EW SiB around town at about $38. Not a terrible price, but was a staple at $25 at a great value; getting up to $40-50 is out of the right range given proof in my opinion.
JD SB Barrel Proof just showed up on our shelves. I was there in Lynchburg 2 weeks ago. The single barrels come from the top floor and have to pass a tasting panel. The range of ages in the rickhouses are mostly 4-7 years, with the top floor having 4 year barrels. So, these are tasty single barrels from the top floor with much less age than most single barrels. JD claims they are at least 5 years, but our tour guide definitely suggested the top floor was all taken at year four, and tended to have more flavor than the other bourbons used in ole No. 7. Take it as it is, these are NOT older bourbons, but I personally think they taste very very smooth. But unlike, say, Ruseell's, they do not include a lot of oak flavor.
I remember when you could get store picks of Henry McKenna 2011-12 for $24.99. It bumped up to 29.99 for 2014 and after it won whisky of the year in 2019, it disappeared for nearly a year and then was $59.99. I just finished a bottle I had from 2014 and it was one of my favorites. Funny thing, I have 3 bottles distilled on the same day as yours 5/5/2008 barrel #8941 and #8849. It’s certainly more available now here in NoCal Bay Area as is the JDFP. Lots of 130s. Going to Jack in May to do a JDFP and JDRFP pick.
The EW Sib just hit our market in chattanooga, tn for $31-35, I bought 3 of them. I have to agree that the John j bowman Single barrel is crazy good and that the 4roses Sib is slept on. For the price I think the benchmark Sib is really good as well. Dont know how available Green River Single Barrel is there but it sits of the shelf most places here for $69 and it is a very good pour.
I always see Jack Daniels single barrel , barrel proof here in NH. I have always been able to buy bottles over 130 proof. I personally think they are better than the 120’s in my opinion. Not always a higher proof guy but has been my opinion so far
No idea of distibution,but my son and I have been enjoying Boon County single barrels. Also, has anyone had the John J Bowman since they went to the green label? I have one, but have not opened it yet.
In north Georgia, the JDSBBP is, if not in every store, easily found. I wouldn't argue with any of these, though I'd say that if you don't get the 100 proof version of Dickel, forget it.
Great review. I remember seeing the EW Single Barrels in Chicago everywhere a few years ago. Finally got around to buying one at $35......I liked it a lot, maybe would have been a bit better at 95 proof but still tasty. A few months later I went looking for more and they were essentially gone. A few remaining bottles were jacked up to $75 and that was the end of that! $50 is a pass now. I was tainted by the $35.
The Evan Williams Single barrel vintage was just Ok for me. I’d take Knob Creek 9 any day over it for about ten dollars less. I picked up a bottle of Evan Williams 12 year for about 50 bucks, thanks living in Japan, I’m hoping it’s a lot better than the Vintage.
Some single barrels are hit or miss but for the most part they are good. I’m a big Four Roses fan and honestly have never had a bad one. We are lucky the JDSBBP just sits on shelves around me both the rye and whiskey. The HM I’ve never seen and don’t miss it honestly. Enjoy!!
The Jack Daniels SiB BP is everywhere here in Northern Kentucky for $65 -$70. I purchased one at Kroger recently for around $55. The JDSiBBP Rye is not as plentiful. I did purchase one for $79 last month.
JD SBBP is in about every store in the Dayton Ohio area. Just got into Bourbon a year ago after a Bourbon Trail trip to Louisville. The Four Roses Single Barrel was my favorite from the tasting there following the tour. Keep up the great content it's much appreciated!
I can find the Jack BP pretty regularly I like all the Jack stuff bonded bonded rye all single barrel selects including the rye and both barrel proof editions rye and regular whiskey
Love Four Roses, gets plenty of love here. Russells also a staple. Prefer the "Full Proof" to Single Barrel like you. Single Barrel, Barrel Proof is magic, but an occasional sipper (packs a punch), Black Label sits on the shelf in stores. Bakers only one I would disagree with, oh and the Dickel can take a hike. Send some Henry McKenna our way to Oz! I'm noticing it's everywhere over there currently.
I live in the North Florida area, and you guys are right about Florida not having some bourbons available for our consumption. I agree that the Wild Turkey/Russells products are consistent and it’s a great pour. I appreciate you guys for sharing your thoughts on the bourbons you have had, I do want to try the John J. Bowman products and again it’s a hard thing to acquire in Florida
I live in a place that doesn’t see many allocations but Jack daniels single barrel barrel proofs are in quite literally every single store even little mom and pop stores have cases.
Here in NY (Long Island), the JD SB is also everywhere in volume including store picks (Total Wine), but unfortunately the JD SBBP has been scarce here for the last 6-12 months. Thankfully, I have a couple bottles stashed away. :)
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof is showing up more on shelves.Two to three years ago not so much. I live in Englewood Colorado a suburb of Denver. Most though I have seen have been 125-130 proof 👍🏻🥃Single Barrel Select is always on my bar such a great 94 proof whiskey that never disappoints
JD SBBP on shelves in Oregon. Mine is 130.5 pf. Love Baker's 7, New Riff SB and Tumblin' Dice SB. We don't get John J. Bowman and all I have heard is most everyone raves about it.
JD SBBP has gotten more visible in MI over the last 6 months. It was gone for over a year. McKenna shows up on occasion these days after being very hard to find for several years. I’ve never seen a Bowman single batch but the Bowman Bros small batch is getting more consistently available.
I agree. Get a Bakers over 8 years old and you will be impressed, especially at $50. I don’t buy Bookers anymore. It is overrated, overpriced and often drinks hot, and I like high proof bourbons. My least favorite Beam product. .
@@MitchellKing-df1gu I hadn't bought a Bookers since Teresa's batch in 2019 I think it was solid..but I'm the past month I found the last three release at Costco at cost for 67$ so I had to ..the Springfield is real nice the other two are just too hot to enjoy honestly..but bakers better than all 3 lol
i got the Benchmark FP and it's fine as a neat sipper. I put it over a large ice cube and it became scary easy to drink. For $24 I'll take it. Edit: Wisconsin doesnt get anything, especially near milwaukee. Not even banchmark, i had to go to chicago for that
JD Barrel proof is readily available in Massachusetts, has interesting variation between batches but is consistently good, and is fantastic value. We don’t see Bowman single barrel here. Four Roses Single barrel was one of the first single barrels I bought and I still love it. KC 120 proof is another great value and consistently good. McKenna is about as mediocre as it gets. There is too much good bourbon around to bother with it.
The JD SiB BP sits on shelves down here in Houston. Also interestingly the Evan Williams SiB’s have been popping up around Houston and a few other cities in Texas.
I also wanted to add that I’m not sure that Evan Willams single barrel is a Kentucky only release. I just picked up a bottle that was dumped in February of this year. The other bottle I own was dumped two years prior.
I don't know if Evan Williams Single Barrel is Kentucky exclusive anymore. Last one I saw in the Dallas, TX area was back in early 2022. Just found one two days ago at a local Spec's that was bottled on March 1st of this year (#466, barreled 12/4/15), and was priced at $35. Knob Creek 9yr Single Barrel Reserve and Jack Daniels SBBP are always available here as well, and both fantastic bottles that I always keep a backup of!
I"m in DFW and while we do get a lot of allocated bottles, the competition is rediculous and the secondary game is worse. Edit: JDSBBP is readily available here and I'd rate it as one of the best values in whiskey. KC9 SiB are also pretty easy to find and also top tier.
I live in Colorado near the Denver area and that JD SiB BP is sitting on shelves everywhere around here. Other bottles (example: Joh J. SiB) you have on your videos do not sit on shelves... but that's another story. haha Thanks for the content!
Bowman and Baker’s 7 are my favs on this excellent list. I currently have a 7 that is 8 years 11 months and it’s outstanding! Also, I can find both JD selections here in NC.

Bought a Jack BP last night for $68.99. See them all the time.
They’re everywhere by me in Houston too

Stole my thunder ... I've tried two of these and both have been excellent.
One of my favorites but not available everywhere. I have to make a special trip to get one.
They’re doing some good work there 👌
I’m have heard great things about New Riff Single Barrel but had not tried it. I picked one up the other day, and I’m sad to say it wasn’t great. Not gonna give up though, I will keep tryng.
100% agree and I see it everywhere
I can find the JDSBBP all over up here in Wisconsin. Definitely a shelter. I’m actually starting to see the JDSBBP Rye on shelves in a few places too.
The JD Single barrel barrel proof is on the shelf of almost every ABC store in NC all the time
Which is crazy because NC never gets the good stuff!
I couldn’t agree more on Evan Williams Single Barrel! Used to buy it at Wal Mart for $25!!
Gold Label Jack D SB is everywhere in Texas. That and Bakers 7 are my favorites on this list, love them both especially the Bakers that lean towards 9 yrs not 7.
I’ll go against the crowd regarding Dickel 15 year. Yes it has the characteristic mineral note but it works for me as one element of many in the overall experience.

Even in my ABC state, JD single barrel, barrel proof is always on the store shelf. It has become one of my go to bottles. I buy a couple a month.

There are currently 1164 bottles of JDSBBP in Virginia. There are 2182 JD SB bottles, so both sitting on shelves in most stores, no problem.
I live in central Texas and I can find single barrel barrel proof jack at any liquor store around. The best most of the stuff I’m getting now is over 130. Also the rye is every where now too
JDSBBP and the SBBP RYE are on the shelf all day, everyday in my hometown in NC. Everyone passes it up and do not know what they are missing!
Barrel proof JD from 128 to 130 is readily available out here in Idaho. Amazing bottle!

JD single barrel BP is everywhere in DFW. I just purchased one at 133.5 proof
The JDSBBP is pretty easy to find in IA. One of my favorite bottles, just finished mine. 134.4 proof and luckily I bought a back up for later.
Here in Chicago area the Jack Barrel Proof is around. I was thrilled to find the Barrel proof rye the other day!
Some single barrels are hit or miss but for the most part they are good. I’m a big Four Roses fan and honestly have never had a bad one. We are lucky the JDSBBP just sits on shelves around me both the rye and whiskey. The HM I’ve never seen and don’t miss it honestly. Enjoy!!
Been finding JDBP more regularly over the last 6 months. Great pour
JD SiB BP pretty abundant in TX.
The Jack Daniels SiB BP is everywhere here in Northern Kentucky for $65 -$70. I purchased one at Kroger recently for around $55. The JDSiBBP Rye is not as plentiful. I did purchase one for $79 last month.
JD SBBP is in about every store in the Dayton Ohio area. Just got into Bourbon a year ago after a Bourbon Trail trip to Louisville. The Four Roses Single Barrel was my favorite from the tasting there following the tour. Keep up the great content it's much appreciated!

Mostly can only find the Jack black single barrel but I do love the full proof
Knob Creek Single Barrel 120proof is $65 state minimum in Michigan
Great video! In SC we have the JD SBBS everywhere. It’s a shelfer for me. Have 2 at all times
JDSB Ryes 130 proof + are collecting dust in the DFW area. A few are pics. Thanks for the content guys!

JDSBBP bourbon and rye starting to be a shelfet here in MN- just found. 136.2!!! Usually $65-70. You guys rock!
I see the JD Single Barrel BP regularly.
In Colorado, JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof is everywhere (and store picks a plenty as well).
Early Times (blue top) or Sazerac both very easy to drink!
Here in NY (Long Island), the JD SB is also everywhere in volume including store picks (Total Wine), but unfortunately the JD SBBP has been scarce here for the last 6-12 months. Thankfully, I have a couple bottles stashed away. :)
I know the Russel’s is more popular but I really have enjoyed some of the Kentucky spirit SiB, even the shelfers
I see JD SBBP all the time here in DE. Love it and the rye SBBP is an amazing bottle
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof is showing up more on shelves.Two to three years ago not so much. I live in Englewood Colorado a suburb of Denver. Most though I have seen have been 125-130 proof 👍🏻🥃Single Barrel Select is always on my bar such a great 94 proof whiskey that never disappoints

JD SBBF is easy to find in SE Wisconsin. Looking forward to the SiB blind video. Thanks fellas!
JDSBBP is everywhere in northern ky and Cincinnati. It’s also one of my favorite whiskies in the market
The JD SBBP is available throughout CA.
I've had quite a few Bookers and I would take a bottle of bakers over any of em..so underated had a glass last night ... 🥂
I agree. Get a Bakers over 8 years old and you will be impressed, especially at $50. I don’t buy Bookers anymore. It is overrated, overpriced and often drinks hot, and I like high proof bourbons. My least favorite Beam product. .
@@MitchellKing-df1gu I hadn't bought a Bookers since Teresa's batch in 2019 I think it was solid..but I'm the past month I found the last three release at Costco at cost for 67$ so I had to ..the Springfield is real nice the other two are just too hot to enjoy honestly..but bakers better than all 3 lol
Bought a JD SBBP for $55 a few weeks ago. See them on the shelves everywhere in WV for $75.
Wish I could find John J Bowman
Both jacks sit here on the shelf. Arizona. Great buys for me personally
Yes, I can find the SB Bourbon CS all the time. With the Rye, they’re some of the best in market
Mid Iowa I see more barrel Proof Jack than standard unless you count store picks
Any time we roll through KY to IN, I'll stop and get another EWSiB to keep on hand full, like David. Prime daily choice.
I sometimes can find 750ml of JDSBBP, but almost always 375ml
i got the Benchmark FP and it's fine as a neat sipper. I put it over a large ice cube and it became scary easy to drink. For $24 I'll take it.
Edit: Wisconsin doesnt get anything, especially near milwaukee. Not even banchmark, i had to go to chicago for that
JD Barrel proof is readily available in Massachusetts, has interesting variation between batches but is consistently good, and is fantastic value. We don’t see Bowman single barrel here. Four Roses Single barrel was one of the first single barrels I bought and I still love it. KC 120 proof is another great value and consistently good. McKenna is about as mediocre as it gets. There is too much good bourbon around to bother with it.
I like the list… 1 like the 4 roses probably the best followed by Bakers… if you get the right barrel don’t sleep on the Dickel…
The JD SiB BP sits on shelves down here in Houston.
Also interestingly the Evan Williams SiB’s have been popping up around Houston and a few other cities in Texas.
They've resurfaced in CO as well.
Took awhile around my area here in Michigan, but the JD SBBS is now readily available at several stores
I think KC 120 is 60-65 here in Michigan. That said, I can find a JDSBBP easily, so you should definitely include that one!
JDSBBP is everywhere in Florida, my favorite!
JD SBBP is always available on the regular in San Diego. 👍
I also wanted to add that I’m not sure that Evan Willams single barrel is a Kentucky only release. I just picked up a bottle that was dumped in February of this year. The other bottle I own was dumped two years prior.
They have told us at the distillery it is. Not sure when that is happening though.
Evans Williams single barrel is showing up in South Carolina stores at the moment
I see JD SBBP regularly here in my area. The BP Rye is another story but findable.
I don't know if Evan Williams Single Barrel is Kentucky exclusive anymore. Last one I saw in the Dallas, TX area was back in early 2022. Just found one two days ago at a local Spec's that was bottled on March 1st of this year (#466, barreled 12/4/15), and was priced at $35.
Knob Creek 9yr Single Barrel Reserve and Jack Daniels SBBP are always available here as well, and both fantastic bottles that I always keep a backup of!
Upstate NY see them all the time
Great video guys. JDSBBP is readily available in Northern CA. Store picks are available too. That and ECBP are my got to favorites.
I"m in DFW and while we do get a lot of allocated bottles, the competition is rediculous and the secondary game is worse.
Edit: JDSBBP is readily available here and I'd rate it as one of the best values in whiskey. KC9 SiB are also pretty easy to find and also top tier.
I can find JDSBBP everyday in most stores in NC. McKenna is still allocated, and JJ Bowman SB is allocated/impossible to find in NC.
I see the JD SBBP in every store in Texas that I visit.
Jack Daniel's single barrel barrel proof is easy to find down here in PCB Florida
I live in Colorado near the Denver area and that JD SiB BP is sitting on shelves everywhere around here. Other bottles (example: Joh J. SiB) you have on your videos do not sit on shelves... but that's another story. haha Thanks for the content!
Bowman and Baker’s 7 are my favs on this excellent list. I currently have a 7 that is 8 years 11 months and it’s outstanding! Also, I can find both JD selections here in NC.
JD SBBP available everywhere around Nashville, I even have a store pick
New Riff, and one nobody talks about, Huling Station single barrel with it's uber high rye mashbill, are 2 I replace constantly.
JDSBBP everywhere in FlL; many over 130 proof. One of my faves
Evan Williams SIB is starting to show up again outside of Kentucky at $35.
I picked one up in Knoxville TN last weekend for $36. I passed on all the ones I saw in KY a few weeks ago cuz they were all over $50.
We can find the JSSBBS in Minneapolis more often than not
Old Forester SBBS is a damn fine pour.
I never see that one where I live
I have the Jack Daniels SBBP and I like it. It's easy to find here in Alabama.
