Jack Daniel’s Old No.7

Description

Jack Daniel`s is a whisky brand from Tennessee,America.

Its founder Jasper Newton `Jack` Daniel was born in mid 1850s and his birthday is celebrated every September by the company.

Jack ran away from home after the death of his father as he wasn?t in good terms with his stepmother,his mother passed away when he was very young.

He was taken in by a local distiller and preacher and this is definitely where he developed his knowledge and passion in distillation.When he won a case on his rightful inheritance from his father,he established a distillery to further his skill and passion.His partner,Call,who had taken him in after he was orphaned, later quit citing religious reasons.The distillery was reportedly established in 1866.The year is still ?inscribed on the present day Jack Daniel`s Old no. 7 bottle.

There is no record of Jack Daniel`s being married or having children of his own,perhaps that`s why he took his nephews, Lemuel and Motlow,to help him run the affairs of the distillery.

In 1907,Jack handed the distillery to the two nephews due to his poor health,Motlow soon bought out Lemuel and continued to run the distillery for over 40 years.

It is produced in Lynchburg in a distillery owned by the Brown-Forman Corporation since the mid 1950s.
