Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series 5

$179.00
Overview

Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 5 honours Frank Bobo, who ran the Lynchburg distillery from 1966 to 1988 and led the effort that made Old No. 7 what it is today. Same Jack Daniel's you know, still charcoal-mellowed the old way, just wrapped up as a proper tribute bottle.
