Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is the world’s best selling whiskey, with every bottle distilled and bottled at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, America’s oldest registered distillery, established in 1866. Made from the finest corn, rye, and barley malt these choice grains are mixed with the iron-free water that flows from the Cave Spring found on the distillery grounds. From there Jack Daniel’s is charcoal mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal which imparts our distinct smoothness. Finally, Jack Daniel’s is matured in handcrafted white oak barrels of our own making. Every drop of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey savored in more than 170 countries around the world is crafted in one place – a little town called Lynchburg, Tennessee. We let our whiskey slowly drip through 10 ft of hard sugar maple charcoal so it comes out with its distinctive smoothness. It’s a costly, time consuming process and if it sounds extravagant, well, it is.We’re the only major distillery in the United States to craft our own barrels. A barrel is more than a container for whiskey. It’s an ingredient. That’s why we’ve always insisted on making our own.We don’t know a whole lot about Mr. Jack Daniel’s life. He never thought to record it. However, we do know how he made his whiskey and the one guiding principle he left us to follow in the making of it: “Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.”
