It’s one of the best known and bestselling Whiskeys of the world: Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. Home of Jack Daniel’s is Lynchburg, a town about 70 miles south of Nashville. It’s a Whiskey that is produced obeying all the regulations necessary to be called Bourbon - but it’s even more: 1944 Jack Daniel’s achieved the official approval that Tennessee Whiskey is an own classification, characterised by the additional charcoal mellowing called “Lincoln County process”.
Jack Daniel's is a brand of Tennessee whiskey. It is produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, by the Jack Daniel Distillery, which has been owned by the Brown–Forman Corporation since 1956.
Jack Daniel’s is very proud to stick to the old traditional recipe that founder Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel developed. Some say that it was his seventh experiment to generate the perfect mash for the Whiskey so the Whiskey is still called Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. Some say it was the number Jack Daniel got from the government for the registration of his distillery, others presume the 7 might have been a tracking number of the railway company on a barrel. We don’t know this for sure but we know that Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is one of the famous Whiskey bottlings of the world. It’s a Whiskey with a light and smooth body, a bit oily with sweet aromas from honey and vanilla, with notes of oak and chocolate.
Not only the recipe but also the production process is done in a traditional way at Jack Daniel’s. There are computers and modern machines, of course, but the way of mashing, distilling, charcoal mellowing and maturing is still the same as it was in the nineteenth century.
As mentioned Jack Daniel’s is produced using the original recipe developed by founder Jasper Daniel himself. It’s based on a mash composed of 80% corn, 12 % malted barley and 8% rye. Corn and barley are from the US, the rye from parts of Canada. The grain is stored in big silos; there are eight for the corn, two for the rye and two other ones for the barley.
