Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series #17 High Angel’s Share Straight Tennessee Whiskey is a limited-edition release from the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Distilled in 2016 from the distillery’s 80% corn, 8% rye and 12% malted barley mash bill, it aged on the top floor of Barrelhouse 1-13 on Coy Hill, where high temperatures accelerated evaporation and concentrated the remaining whiskey. Bottled at 138.4 proof (69.2% ABV) in 375 mL bottles, it retails for $44.75 and is available exclusively in Tennessee and at the distillery’s White Rabbit Bottle Shop.

  • Robb Report
  • By Jonah Flicker
  • It’s certainly packed with flavor, revealing big berry, vanilla, and oak notes that don’t obscure the signature Jack Daniel’s banana flavor. But at such a high proof, the heat ultimately wins out and overshadows everything else.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Rich, delightful, powerful nose full of buttercream frosting, orange blossom, cherries, barrel char and almond butter.

  • Taste:

    Tons of heat on the palate, which is super viscous and delicious — loads of dark fruit and roasty oaky notes. Big peanut brittle note plus coffee grounds, big time dark fruit — cherry, blackberry, plum — more buttercream frosting, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, sassafras, sweet oak, brown sugar.

  • Finish:

    The finish begins quite tannic with leather and cocoa powder, giving way to orange peel, apricot, yuzu and cherry cola. From there, it finishes on a nice note of brownies topped with chopped peanuts, joined by candied walnuts.

  • Overall:

    A banger of a release from Jack Daniel’s. It’s creamy, decadent and powerful. Proofy without a doubt, but delicious and rich, with a superb balance of dark fruit, spice and oak.
