Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select: Barrels pulled from the top of the rickhouse, where the temperature swings are hardest, and it shows as considerably more oak than any standard Jack. A genuinely different proposition from the black label.
- Rebel 100: A budget wheater at a useful proof. Sweet vanilla, honey and caramel with soft bread notes and very little rye bite.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select if you want a distinctly oakier, more concentrated Tennessee whiskey with barrel-to-barrel character.
- Go with Rebel 100 if you want a sweet, 100-proof wheater for mixing and easy sipping at a lower price point and without hunting for it.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks (Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select); rocks, old-fashioned, cocktails (Rebel 100).
