Why we curate it

Master Distiller Series No. 1 is where the whole Jack Daniel's story starts, bottled as a proper tribute to the man behind the name. Richer and fuller than the standard Old No. 7, and a genuine piece of the brand's history to go with it. A good one for the collector shelf as much as the drinks cabinet.
