One of the biggest selling whiskey brands in the world, Jack Daniel’s is a household name across the globe. Originally registered in 1866 and reportedly the first legal distillery in the US, Jasper Daniel’s himself was the original master distiller after learning his craft from Nathan Nearest, an African-American distiller. Jack would pioneer the “Lincoln county process”, a method whereby their whiskey is mellowed through sugar maple charcoal before entering the barrel. The process filters some of the harsher esters and volatile compounds found in the newmake spirit. Jack would create his icon “Old No 7 Brand” that has gone on to define American whiskey. The Jack Daniel’s name struggled through early prohibition, finding that Tennessee was no longer a viable place to make whiskey and so briefly moved to Missouri and Alabama. No whiskey from these sites were ever released due to quality concerns and after a number of decades of waiting, Tennessee once again allowed whiskey production in 1938. After moving back to the Lynchburg distillery, Jack Daniel’s would once again close from 1942-1946 due to a government ban on whiskey production due to world war 2.
