Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 2 is an 86 proof (43% ABV) commemorative limited release honoring Jess Motlow, the second man to hold the title of Master Distiller in Lynchburg. Released in 2013, this bottling pays tribute to Motlow’s resilience during his 30-year tenure (1911–1941), specifically his role in safeguarding the brand's heritage during the era of American Prohibition.
Crafted using the traditional 80/12/8 mash bill and charcoal-mellowed via the Lincoln County Process, the spirit delivers a smooth structural integrity. The profile is defined by creamy vanilla, warm caramel, and honeyed fruit, finishing with a refined, toasted oak warmth. This 750ml release is a primary acquisition for collectors tracking the Master Distiller series and the historical survival of Tennessee whiskey.
