New 86-proof release from Jack Daniel’s and McLaren Racing features bold packaging inspired by iconic brands’ legacies
Jack Daniel’s Distillery has unveiled its 2025 limited-edition Tennessee Whiskey, created in collaboration with McLaren Racing to commemorate their ongoing Formula 1 partnership. This year’s release boasts a higher proof of 86 (43% ABV) and a striking new design that pays homage to the heritage of both brands.
The whiskey maintains Jack Daniel’s traditional mash bill of 80% corn, 8% rye, and 12% malted barley. It undergoes the signature charcoal mellowing process before aging in handcrafted American white oak barrels. The elevated proof offers a richer flavor profile, featuring notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, culminating in a smooth finish.
“2024 was an exceptional year for the McLaren Formula 1 Team, clinching the Constructors’ Championship title,” said Jamie Butler, Jack Daniel’s Global Brand Director. “This year’s limited edition embodies the spirit of excellence that both Mr. Jack and Bruce McLaren championed.”Beverage Industry+1Spirited Drinks+1
Nick Martin, Co-Chief Commercial Officer at McLaren Racing, added, “We’re thrilled to launch our third limited-edition bottle with Jack Daniel’s, offering fans a unique way to celebrate another exciting year of racing together.”
