The bottle wrap motif was designed to match McLaren’s 1000th Formula 1 Grand Prix celebration designs that will feature throughout the 2026 season.
“Jack Daniel’s and McLaren both possess a dedication to heritage, innovation and the pursuit of possibility,” said Mark Bacon, SVP, Global Managing Director of Jack Daniel’s. “This year’s limited edition bottle celebrates that shared legacy with a bold design that gives fans a premium way to celebrate the spirit of both brands.”
“This is a milestone year for McLaren as we look ahead to our 1000th Grand Prix in Miami,” said Nick Martin, Co-Chief Commercial Officer at McLaren Racing. “Our long-standing partnership with Jack Daniel’s is built on shared ambition, and this limited-edition bottle gives fans a special way to acknowledge this important chapter in our journey.”
The liquid uses Jack Daniel’s signature grain bill of 80% corn, 8% rye, and 12% malted barley. It is charcoal mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in new American white oak barrels.
