The Jack Daniel’s Limited Edition Indian SpringfieldDark Horsedraws its design inspiration from Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel
Select, the brand’s finely-crafted super-premium whiskey offering. Jack
Daniel’s Single Barrel comes from select barrelhouses at the Jack Daniel
Distillery in Lynchburg, TN. Within those barrelhouses, Single Barrel
Select barrels are only taken from the top floors where the natural
annual temperatures vary the greatest year after year, which help
develop the most robust flavor. Jack Daniel’s is the only major
distillery in the world that produces its own oak barrels by hand by
skilled craftsmen, and it is the oak from these barrels that gives
Single Barrel Select its distinctive flavor and color. Similarly, each
limited-edition Jack Daniel’s Indian Springfield Dark Horse is unique
and original in its own way, as nearly the entire bike is hand-painted
by specialized Indian Motorcycle craftsmen.
“The team at Jack Daniel’s relies immensely on their passionate and
specialized craftsmen to control the Single Barrel Select process from
beginning to end, as each of them pour their personal pride and loyalty
into the product every day,” said Reid Wilson, Senior Director for
Indian Motorcycle. “Our team at Indian Motorcycle shares that same
passion for craftsmanship and developed this motorcycle as a tribute to
all the craftsmen who value working with their hands and are committed
to developing products of the finest quality.”
Maintaining the sleek, stripped-down styling of the Indian Springfield
Dark Horse, this year’s Jack Daniel’s limited-edition motorcycleincludes
many custom-inspired, ultra-premium design features that truly make it
an exclusive one-of-a-kind motorcycle, including:
Unique One-Of-A-Kind Styling
Inspired
by the wood grain hues from the Single Barrel Select packaging and the
oak aging barrels, the Indian Motorcycle design team crafted the
two-tone Heavy Metal Crystal & Thunder Black Vivid Crystal custom paint
scheme. Indian Motorcycle craftsmen then overlaid sleek Steel Gray
graphics and custom Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel badging throughout the
bike by hand. Additionally, Single Barrel Select wood grain finishes are
found on the tank badge and saddlebag hinges completing the
custom-inspired look.
New, Powerful 116 Cubic-Inch Thunder Stroke Engine
In
addition to the bike’s stripped-down, custom styling, the new Jack
Daniel’s Limited Edition Indian SpringfieldDark Horse will
feature Indian Motorcycle’s first ever straight-from-the-factory 116
cubic-inch Thunder Stroke engine with an estimated 127 ft-lbs of torque
delivering head-snapping power.
Premium Touches
Adding to the Jack
Daniel’s Limited Edition Indian SpringfieldDark Horse’s mean
styling are premium features, including new 12-inch mid-rise ape-hanger
handlebars, quick release tinted flare windscreen, custom precision
machined wheels, end-to-end LED lighting, and premium gloss black
finishes throughout. The bike also incorporates the more aggressive
styling first introduced with the redesigned 2019 Chieftain lineup. The
Jack Daniel’s Limited Edition Indian SpringfieldDark Horse
features the same slammed saddlebags, and tank badging. Additionally, a
premium genuine leather gunfighter seat and tank strap bearing the Jack
Daniel’s Single Barrel Select logo, Single Barrel Select engraved rider
and passenger floorboards, and numbered Montana Silversmith badge
designed specifically for this motorcycle further add to the bike’s
uncompromising level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Limited Production
As a nod to Jack
Daniel’s iconic “Old No. 7 Brand”, only 177 individually-numbered bikes
will be produced globally, making this a truly limited edition custom
motorcycle.
“There are no two brands that better represent American craftsmanship
than Jack Daniel’s and Indian Motorcycle,” said Greg Luehrs, Director of
Events and Sponsorships for Jack Daniel’s. “We greatly value our
relationship with Indian, as we share the same high-quality values and
attention-to-detail, and know that at the end of the day our products
are only as good as the team of people behind them.”
Each Jack Daniel’s Limited Edition Indian SpringfieldDark Horse
will come with a commemorative, wooden Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel
bottle display made from the same oak barrels used to mature Jack
Daniel’s Single Barrel Select. The holder comes with two custom branded
rocks glasses and a spot for a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel,
which is padded with the same genuine leather as the motorcycle’s seat.
Each gift will be custom made and engraved with the owner’s name,
motorcycle number (#001-#177) and VIN.
