Description

Before Tennessee Rye became a permanent fixture on shelves, Jack Daniel’s released this fascinating little rebel into the wild — an Unaged Tennessee Rye “Distiller’s Run” experimental release that feels more like a whiskey lab artifact than an everyday bottle.

This collectible features:

• “Unaged Tennessee Rye” labeling
• Batch No. 001 designation
• Unique bottle number 04165A
• 750 mL bottle
• 40% ABV / 80 Proof
• Embossed Jack Daniel Distillery glass
• Original neck medallion and labels present
• Distiller’s note printed on the reverse discussing the experimental rye mash bill and future maturation plans

Collectors will especially appreciate the historical significance here. Jack Daniel’s openly describes this as an early exploration into rye whiskey production, noting that rye had “never been the lead grain until now.” In other words, this bottle is basically whiskey history caught mid-experiment.

The clear spirit presentation gives it a moonshine-meets-master-distiller vibe, while the embossed glass and numbered bottle add strong display appeal. It is not every day you run into a Batch 001 release that practically says, “We were trying something crazy down in Lynchburg.”

Please review all photos carefully for bottle condition, labeling, fill level, seal integrity, and overall presentation.
