Whisky Jack Daniels 1905 Legacy Edition 2. Just like the name ‘Old No. 7,’ the history of our label is a bit of a mystery. Some say we chose the color to mourn Mr. Jack’s death, others don't think we chose it for any reason at all. We may never know for sure, but we are certain this label was one of the very first times it was predominantly black. Our second bottling in the Jack Daniels Legacy Edition Series is a return to one of the first instances of Jack's iconic black label. It's a symbol of our enduring spirit, an ode to Mr. Jack's color of choice and, well, just a good bottle of whisky. So enjoy a sip or two of Jack Daniels history.
