Jack Daniel’s Presents McLaren Racing with Special Barrel of Tennessee Whiskey

The special barrel of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select, which yields approximately 240 750 mL bottles at 94 proof, was barreled April 2018 and was selected and set aside when the McLaren team first visited the Jack Daniel Distillery in October 2022. Bottles #4 and #81 from the barrel will be presented to McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. 

“McLaren’s pursuit of performance shines through in everything they do, and we’re proud to see the team’s hard work lead to such an exciting finish at the Miami Grand Prix,” said Jack Daniel’s Global Managing Director Mark Bacon. “We wanted to congratulate the team on their performance and Lando’s first F1 win in a way that only Jack can – with a barrel of our Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey perfect for celebrating this special occasion.”

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select is 80% corn, 8% rye, and 12% malted barley, and is bottled at 94 proof (47% abv).
