When it comes to American whiskey, while there are many household names, there are none more famous than the Tennessee whiskey brand Jack Daniel’s. Not only that, but there are also no world whiskeys more popular than Old No. 7. Clearly, the brand’s popularity is largely due to the one black-labeled whiskey you’ll find in every liquor retailer from Temecula to Tampa.

But if your whole experience with Jack Daniel’s is the classic Old No. 7, you’re missing out on some amazing expressions. This is especially true if you’re talking about the brand’s limited releases. We’re talking about Master Distiller Series whiskeys, Gold Medal Series whiskeys, Sinatra Select, and various single-barrel expressions. And while the brand has myriad limited-edition expressions that we love, we’re most excited about its newest collaboration with McLaren Racing.

Why McLaren Racing?

If your experience with car racing is limited to your local dirt track, McLaren Racing is a Formula 1 team founded by Bruce McLaren back in 1963. After competing in its first race in 1966, the team has won twenty Formula 1 world championships, 183 Formula 1 grand prix, and the Indianapolis 500 three times. This level of esteem makes for the perfect complement to this classic Tennessee whiskey brand.

This limited-edition expression commemorates the partnership between Jack Daniel’s and McLaren Racing. This commemorative bottle begins with the classic mash bill Jack Daniel’s fans come to expect: 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. Bottled at 80 proof, it’s charcoal filtered using the Lincoln County Process. It’s then matured in charred oak barrels to perfection.

If you didn’t guess it already, this is the classic Old No.7 you know and love. It also happens to be in a commemorative package and bottle that’s a must-have for Formula 1 and McLaren Racing fans.

“We’re proud to celebrate the continued partnership between McLaren and Jack Daniel’s, two brands known around the world for representing a spirit of boldness and authenticity,” Jamie Butler, Jack Daniel’s Global Brand Director said in a press release. “Together, we’ve created unmatched fan experiences around F1 races and are looking to build upon that success and accelerate in the new race season.”

This commemorative bottle is the perfect gift for the Formula 1 or McLaren Racing fans in your life (or you can simply buy a bottle or two for yourself). It’s available for purchase at Formula 1 racing markets throughout the world and across the U.S. Available in 1L and 750ml bottles, the prices haven’t been released, but you can already find bottles on the secondary market for over $100. Expect to pay at least a little bit more than the usual Jack Daniel’s price to get your hands on a piece of racing and whiskey history.

Blue Bottle just proved California can grow world-class coffee
Blue Bottle Coffee just dropped a super rare California-grown coffee

Coffee has always had its origins story – Ethiopia, Colombia, Panama. But California was never part of that conversation, until now. Coffee leader, Blue Bottle, has just launched the California Frinj San Diego Gesha, a washed Gesha grown in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties in partnership with Frinj Coffee, the pioneering network behind California's emerging coffee movement. Gesha is widely regarded as one of the most prized varietals in specialty coffee, known for its delicate floral complexity and fruit-forward character –  and this one delivers jasmine, peach, and strawberry in a cup.

Up until now, many coffee brands would shy away from growing specialty-grade coffee in California, as it requires years of experimentation and innovation. For the past two decades, Jay Ruskey, founder of Frinj Coffee, has helped pioneer California coffee product through continual experimentation with innovative growing practices, coffee varieties, and post-harvest processing. Now, this exciting new launch finally reflects that work. Cherries from two California farms were processed at Frinj's wet mill in Ventura, using carefully controlled fermentation to result in an exceptionally clean cup of coffee. This new variety showcases the signature floral aromatics and bright fruit character of the Gesha variety.

Dark rums for whiskey fans
These rums are a great choice for whiskey drinkers

There’s no disputing the appeal of whisk(e)y. Whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, or others. There’s something special about this barrel-aged spirit. But it’s not the only aged spirit, and if you’re limiting your sipping to this style, you’re missing out on some other special, flavorful spirit. Especially dark rum.

I’ve spent years imbibing the various forms of whiskey. But every now and then, I branch out and pour myself a glass of dark rum instead. Unsurprisingly, the two spirits have some of the same aromas and flavors. Since both are matured in wood barrels, they impart flavors like caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and oak (among others). If you don’t already, you should branch out and add dark rum to your aged spirits rotation.

Gins so good you’ll want to drink them neat
You might want to at least sip these gins before mixing with them
Tanqueray No 10

Gin is one of the only spirits that you see on a shelf, and regardless of the quality, you assume you’re going to take it home and mix it with other ingredients to make a cocktail. To many, the thought of drinking gin neat never even occurs to them. Even if they enjoy the juniper, floral, and botanical aromas and flavors of their favorite gin, they still prefer to mix it with other ingredients to make it more palatable.

But it also shouldn’t surprise you that some people enjoy drinking their gin neat or at least prefer a gin that they could drink neat if they chose to do so. Personally, I am one of those people. I enjoy gin so much that I try my best not to mask its flavors with overpowering ingredients. Sure, I like a good Gin & Tonic from time to time. But it’s definitely going to be heavier on gin than tonic if you know what I mean.
