Shoot Straight & Always Speak the Truth

Johnny Fever Single Barrel

Johnny Fever Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bold, uncompromising expression of our award-winning bourbon. Drawn from a single carefully selected barrel, each release captures the distinct character, depth, and nuance that only single barrel aging can provide. Crafted in tribute to a man who left a lasting impact on our co-founder, Billy Watterson, Johnny Fever honors a legacy rooted in family, tradition, and appreciation for good bourbon shared among friends. Every bottle tells its own story—unrepeatable, memorable, and worthy of savoring.

The Grain Blend

Every bottle begins with a four-grain heritage blend—65% corn, 18% rye, 12% malted barley, and 5% wheat. This balanced composition gives Johnny Fever its signature depth: the sweetness of corn, the spice of rye, the roundness of wheat, and the subtle malted undertones that tie it all together.

The Experience

Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) in a 750 mL bottle, Johnny Fever Single Barrel delivers a fuller, richer bourbon experience with bold character and exceptional balance. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, each pour reveals evolving layers of oak, spice, sweetness, and warmth unique to its barrel. Available exclusively for purchase onsite at Burnt Church Distillery, this limited single barrel release offers guests the opportunity to experience a truly distinctive bourbon that cannot be found anywhere else.

The Craft

Each barrel is distilled twice in our custom copper stills to achieve clarity and character, then aged in new, charred American oak barrels beneath the warmth of the Lowcountry climate. Over time, the whiskey develops rich amber tones and layered notes of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and spice. Because no two barrels age exactly alike, every single barrel selection offers a one-of-a-kind expression of Johnny Fever’s craftsmanship and complexity.

The Tribute

Johnny Fever Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey was created in homage to a man who embodied connection, celebration, and authenticity. A lover of pheasant hunting, good bourbon, and family above all else, Johnny Fever left a lasting impression on those around him. This single barrel expression honors that spirit with a bourbon as individual and enduring as the legacy that inspired it.
