Jack Daniel - a Man's History
Jack Daniel was born in 1850 into a family with 13 children. A family friend raised him before hiring him out to work with the Dan Call family at the age of seven. Call was a Lutheran minister. In addition to his ministry, which apparently was not tremendously profitable, Call owned a whiskey still on the Louse River, Tennessee, USA. As he grew up working at the still, Jack learned everything he could. In September of 1863, Call sold his still to Jack, who was merely 13 years old. Jack Daniel adopted a similar style of brewing whiskey to Call. Call's method included mellowing fresh whiskey through hard maple charcoal. It's certainly conceivable that a 13-year-old brewmaster would tend to agree with fatherlike figures from whom they purchased their first distillery. Regardless of the origin, Jack Daniel's Whiskey continues to be produced in this fashion. In anticipation of, and hopeful avoidance of, government taxes, Mr Jack registered his distillery in 1866 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA. While others were running distilleries before him, Jack was the first to register his with the government. Technically this makes Jack Daniel's the US's oldest distillery. In 1904 Jack entered his whiskey at the World's Fair held in St Louis, Missouri; a friend of Jack's was hosting the contest and asked him to join. 20 whiskeys from around the world entered, but Jack's whiskey was awarded the gold medal3. This award was the first presented to Jack for his whiskey. Jack died in 1911, leaving behind no wife or children. The distillery was passed down to his nephew who had worked for Jack for several years. His nephew, Lem, ran the shop much as Jack had done. The distillery's sense of tradition has reached that of legend around Lynchburg, Tennessee. The town and its famous still are inseparable.
Jack Daniel's Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA1. The beverage has enjoyed several periods of popularity. Currently Jack Daniel's basks in the warm glow of public acceptance worldwide. The popularity of Jack Daniel's Whiskey has reached beyond the whiskey itself.
