Jack Daniels was born in 1850 and was one of 13 children. Jack started work at the tender age of 7 years old, and learned a tremendous amount about how to make whiskey.

In 1863 his step father sold Jack his Whiskey still Jack Daniel at the age of 13.

Jack believed in the mellowing process, even though it added time and cost in the making of his whiskey, it actually stood him apart as producing a product of quality. But Jack thought it was essential, so he perfected his charcoal mellowing process back in 1866.

To this day, this still gives Jack Daniels Whiskey its smooth character and unique taste.

In anticipation of government taxes, Jack Daniel’s registered his distillery in 1866. He was the first to do so, making it the nation’s oldest registered distillery.

In 1904 Jack Daniels entered his Old No. 7 Tennessee sipping whiskey at the World’s Fair held in St. Louis, Missouri. Of the 20 whiskeys from around the world, his was the only one awarded the World’s Fair Gold Medal and honored as the world’s best whiskey. And so his fame was born. The Jack Daniels Distillery is one of the most famous distilleries in America and is well worth a visit.

This Jack Daniel’s tin sign makes a great gift or for your own bar.
