Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 is a simple reminder that some things just never change. And
shouldn't. This is the old-time whiskey made as our fathers made it. Jack Daniel's Old No. 7
Brand Old-Time Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey is a whiskey and not a bourbon. Unlike bourbon,
Jack Daniel's is charcoal-mellowed smooth, drop by drop through 10 feet of charcoal made from
sugar maple.
Remaining true to Jack Daniel's original recipe and charcoal-mellowed character means
folks today enjoy the same sipping whiskey awarded seven international gold medals, including
the one collected by Mr. Jack Daniel himself in 1904 at the St. Louis Exposition and World's
Fair. It was honored then as "the world's best whiskey." The black and white label on Jack
Daniel's Old No. 7 is much like the whiskey itself in that it has not changed since Jack Daniel
registered his distillery in 1866.
Today, available in more than 130 countries, Jack
Daniel's Old No. 7 continues to make friends around the world. And folks still have plenty of
nice things to say about it. Like our good friend and spirits writer Mr. John Hansell who
describes Old No. 7 as having a "richer flavor and greater influence from the barrel --
caramel, vanilla, charcoal and oak -- to marry with the fruitiness of the whiskey."
No tour is complete without swinging through downtown Lynchburg. Stop by the Lynchburg
Hardware and General Store and swap a few stories with Tommy Sullenger.
