The Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 2 is a limited edition bottling that celebrates the life and legacy of Jess Motlow, who served as the Master Distiller at the famous Lynchburg Distillery from 1911 to 1941. This special bottling pays tribute to Motlow, who was known for his storytelling and his taste for good whiskey, as well as for preserving his uncle Jack's way of making whiskey through 29 years of Tennessee prohibition.
As a part of the Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series, this bottle celebrates the skilled Master Distillers who have contributed to making Jack Daniel's one of the world's best-known whiskies. The whiskey is produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, at the Jack Daniel's Distillery, which has been owned by the Brown-Forman Corporation since 1956. The distillery is situated in a hollow known as "Stillhouse Hollow" or "Jack Daniel's Hollow," where a spring flows from a cave at the base of a limestone cliff. The limestone removes iron from the water, making it ideal for distilling whiskey.
This limited edition bottling is a 700ml bottle with 43% ABV. It is the second in a series of seven bottles, each honoring one of the seven Master Distillers who have overseen the making of Jack Daniel's whiskey. The first in this series honors the very first Master Distiller, Mr. Jack himself, whose independent spirit and uncompromising nature reflected his passion for producing whiskey his own way, a recipe and distilling process that has become a true American icon.
On the nose, expect a bouquet of caramel, maple syrup, and smoke from a lit fire, complemented by vanilla. On the palate, the whiskey offers a richer profile compared to JD No. 7, with an initial sweetness followed by smoke, then a burst of orange and strong spices. The finish is flat and monolithic, echoing the same aromas. This is a Tennessee whiskey that must be tasted to be fully appreciated.
