Jack Daniel's x McLaren Formula 1® Team - Halo MK1

Halo MK1 is a limited-edition whiskey created in collaboration between Jack Daniel's and the McLaren Formula 1 Team, officially unveiled in late April 2026.

The most distinctive feature is its presentation case, inspired by the Halo cockpit protection system used in McLaren's Formula 1 cars. It incorporates McLaren's signature Papaya Orange colour, alongside an aluminium alloy structure and carbon fibre-effect detailing. The 58.7% ABV pays tribute to McLaren founder Bruce McLaren, whose early Austin 7 Ulster race car carried the number 58.

The Mash Bill follows Jack Daniel's classic recipe of 80% corn, 8% rye and 12% malted barley. The oak staves used to construct the maturation barrels underwent an extended period of outdoor air seasoning before cooperage. This process helps soften the tannins in the wood, resulting in a smoother palate while enhancing the whiskey's aroma and flavour.

Official Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet maple notes, fruit and toasted oak.
Palate: Opens with sweet caramel and chocolate notes, followed by pipe tobacco and baking spices.
Finish: Bold, with lingering barrel spices and brown sugar candy sweetness.
