Jack Daniel's & McLaren Limited Edition is simply Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey (the standard formula: ~80% corn, ~8% rye, ~12% malted barley) repackaged in a special design celebrating the Jack Daniel’s partnership with the McLaren Formula 1 team. The whiskey itself is the classic Tennessee Whiskey: charcoal mellowed via the Lincoln County Process and aged in new American white oak barrels. This edition is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). The unique features are its commemorative bottle art, McLaren’s signature “papaya” accents, and special striping to mark the racing season.

Serving Suggestions:
Best served neat or with a large ice cube to let the flavours open up. Also good in classic whiskey cocktails (e.g. Whiskey & Cola, Old Fashioned). Because it’s the same liquid as Old No. 7, its flavour profile suits the same pairings: BBQ, smoked meats, rich desserts, or casual sipping.
