The Distillery: The headquarters of the US distillery is in Lynchburg, a small town located in Moore County, and the history of this brand is inextricably linked to the man who originally gave it its name. Jack Daniel, born in 1850 in Tennessee to British immigrants, was passionate about distilling from an early age. At less than 16 years old Jack became the owner of the first distillery, experimenting with the first experiments in which corn, rye and barley represented the basis of the first whiskeys produced at the time. Jack immediately understood that he was predestined, and the proof of this came when, after several attempts, he managed to invent a production method which, even today, is the basis of the difference between the Whiskeys produced in Tennessee and all the others made on American soil: essentially, after having applied the classic "sour mash", Jack decided to carry out - at the end of the production process - the filtration of the Whiskey through hard maple carbon, a peculiarity that makes the distillate round and soft even before the subsequent ones refinement steps in wood. Jack Daniel died in 1911, leaving behind a story destined to continue with the subsequent acquisitions of the distillery between different groups, arriving today, after more than 100 years, as a brand of absolute success and commercial value. Each bottle carries within itself the intrinsic value of an incredible story, renewing Jack's love for Tennessee Whisky.
