During the 1970's and 80's, Frank Bobo oversaw the historic rise of Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 brand. Throughout his watch he never made enough whiskey to keep up with demand; he was more concerned about making every drop according to the slow, time-honoured process their founder perfected.
Making its debut in September of 2012, this new series celebrates the 6 Master Distillers throughout the history of the Jack Daniel Distillery.
Available in 2 sizes (700ml & 1L), each bottle is filled with 86 proof whiskey. They are also each individually numbered and sold in a collectible box. For display purposes, when 2 boxes are put side-by-side they complete an image of the Master Distiller being commemorated.
This limited edition release is part of a special series celebrating the six Master Distillers in Jack Daniel’s history. Bottled at 43% ABV and individually numbered, it comes in a collectible box that, when placed side-by-side with Edition 6, completes an image of Frank Bobo. A fitting tribute to one of the most important figures in Jack Daniel’s modern history.
