Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Blowout

240 (750 ml) bottles of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel in personalized decanters.

This special auction lot entitles the winning bidder to be the proud owner of 1 barrel of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey. You are entitled to schedule a visit and tour the Jack Daniel Distillery. Join Jimmy Bedford, Master Distiller, in the task of selecting the perfect barrel to suit your taste. Or if you prefer, Jimmy will gladly make this selection on your behalf.

Each barrel yields about 240 bottles of whiskey. We say "about" because, just as no two barrels produce exactly the same flavor, they don't produce exactly the same amount of whiskey either.

They will hand-bottle your barrel of whiskey in elegant 750ml decanters that bear Mr. Jack's signature in raised glass. Each decanter displays the individual barrel number, the rick from which it was taken in our barrelhouse, and the date when the whiskey was bottled. A medallion around the decanter announces that this whiskey was bottled exclusively for you. You will also receive the actual barrel that has been refinished (we never re-use them) and a framed certificate of ownership. Enjoy a night's stay in Nashville before your trip to Lynchburg. After your tour, please be our guest for lunch or dinner at Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House. Round trip coach airfare for 2 on American Airlines is included.

Minimum Bid is $10,000.00
