LYNCHBURG, Tenn. — The Jack Daniel Distillery recently announced the release of a new limited edition Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey in celebration of its continued partnership with the McLaren Formula 1 Team. The 2025 limited edition McLaren Racing X Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is elevated at 86 proof (43 percent abv) and incorporates bold packaging designs that nod to the unmatched histories of both brands.

“Twenty-twenty four was a fantastic year for the McLaren Formula 1 Team, which saw the team secure the coveted Constructors’ Championship title. We couldn’t be more proud to partner with a brand that continues to redefine success in the pursuit of continued improvement,” said Jamie Butler, Jack Daniel’s Global Brand Director.

“This year’s McLaren X Jack Daniel’s limited edition bottle features a new label and packaging design and higher proof that embodies the same spirit Mr. Jack himself lived by: Every day we make it, we make it the best we can.”      

The limited edition 2025 McLaren X Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey starts with Jack Daniel’s classic grain bill of 80 percent corn, 8 percent rye and 12 percent malted barley. Distilled in Lynchburg, the whiskey is mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of charcoal before maturing in new, American white oak barrels handcrafted to the highest standards. At the elevated 86 proof, this Tennessee Whiskey offers a richer, more robust flavor profile with a medium bodied blend of balanced caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, with a creamy, clean finish.

“We’re delighted to launch our third limited edition bottle in collaboration with Jack Daniel’s, offering our fans a special way of celebrating another exciting year of going racing together,” said Nick Martin, Co-Chief Commercial Officer, McLaren Racing.

Officially registered by the U.S. Government in 1866 and based in Lynchburg, Tenn., the Jack Daniel Distillery is the first registered distillery in the United States and is on the National Register of Historic Places. McLaren Racing was founded by racing driver Bruce McLaren in 1963. The team entered its first Formula 1 race in 1966. McLaren has since won 20 Formula 1 world championships, 183 Formula 1 grands prix, the Indianapolis 500 three times, and the Le Mans 24 Hours at its first attempt.  To learn more about them, click here. •
