Additional information

The ingredients and whiskey-making process are the same as for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey — 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye, mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal before entering the barrel. Aged on the top floor, similar to Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel collection, it's how we create our most complex whiskey. Coy Hill High Proof is bottled in its purest form straight from the barrel, uncut at full proof.

My Take

When I first saw this, I thought I was going to sit this one out... but after a quick Google Search... the retail for these bottles goes upwards of $1000 (note: reselling bottles is illegal in Ohio). In terms of the lottery itself... what a pain in the butt to have to submit individually for each store. I don't think it would have been much more effort to do it by region or have the person select which location they want to pay for the bottle at (similar to EVERY OTHER OHLQ LOTTERY!!!). Alas. Anyway, this is a lottery I recommend entering.
