Jack Daniel's Distillery

Jack Daniel’s Distillery is one of the most popular and well-known makers of spirits in the world. The company has a time-honored history of making whiskey for over 150 years. Located in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the company has been long known for making classic, traditional Tennessee whiskey.

Founded by Jasper Newton Daniel (affectionately known as Jack), he introduced Old No. 7, a signature charcoal-mellowed Tennessee whiskey that is still made in the traditional way more than a century and a half later.

The distillery was officially founded in 1866 and was the first registered distillery in the United States. The company experienced a stoppage of operations during Prohibition and stopped again during World War II.

Master Distillers Jess Gamble and Frank Bobo brought Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 into the world consciousness, and since then, it has been a popular, iconic, and well-loved brand.

Offerings

Jack Daniel’s is most popular for their Old No. 7, a Tennessee sour mash whiskey that is charcoal mellowed for a unique, bold, and spicy flavor with a well-balanced finish. They also have a range of other offerings such as an apple-flavored whiskey, a Tennessee rye version, a number of single barrel offerings, as well as the double mellowed Gentleman Jack. They also make Tennessee honey, a honey liqueur blended with traditional Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
