The Jack Daniel Distillery announced the limited release of Jack Daniel’s Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey, a super premium collaboration with the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team featuring custom packaging and specially-crafted Tennessee Whiskey that nods to the brands’ shared commitment to excellence. 

The bottle is the most premium and limited global release in Jack Daniel’s history, retailing at $599.99 USD.

“We are thrilled to continue to celebrate many fantastic years of partnership with McLaren with the debut of our most exciting collaboration yet – a remarkable bottle that is destined to become a collector’s item for Formula 1 fans and whiskey drinkers alike,” Mark Bacon, SVP , Global Managing Director – Jack Daniel’s, said in a news release. “Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey embodies our shared values of innovation, excellence and ambition.”

Beginning with the release’s design, the HALO structure of McLaren’s Formula 1 race car has been reimagined as the vessel for a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, which features a hand-finished cork and custom medallions. Materials integrated into the packaging such as alloy metal, micro-suede and carbon fibre print, are inspired by those McLaren uses to construct its Formula 1 cars.

Louise McEwen, Chief Marketing Officer, McLaren Racing, said, “Jack Daniel’s Halo MK1 is a great expression of what our partnership represents, precision, craftsmanship and a shared respect for heritage. By drawing inspiration from our racing innovation, and honouring the legacy of Bruce McLaren, this release brings together McLaren’s racing DNA and Jack Daniel’s whiskey making tradition in a way that feels both authentic and truly collectible.”

Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey starts with Jack Daniel’s signature grain bill of 80% corn, 8% rye, and 12% malted barley, distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee. After being charcoal mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal, the whiskey is aged in handcrafted new American white oak barrels built from staves aged in the open air for a prolonged period. This extra time softens tannins in the wood prior to barrel toasting, resulting in a smoother palate and bolder color, aroma and flavor. Bottled at 58.7% ABV (117.4 Proof), Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey salutes McLaren Racing Founder Bruce McLaren, whose first race car was #58 and an Austin 7 Ulster model.

According to Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniel’s Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey features a nose of sweet maple, fruit and toasted oak, followed by a palate that opens with sweet caramel and chocolate notes and evolves to include pipe tobacco and baking spice. The finish is bold with lingering notes of barrel spice and brown sugar candy.

Jack Daniel’s Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey is available now in select global markets in very limited quantities in a 1L bottle for a suggested retail price of $599.99. Fans can purchase their limited edition bottle online while supplies last at the Jack Daniel’s website linked here.
