About Jack Daniel's
Jack Daniel's is the world's best-selling Tennessee Whiskey and one of the most recognized brands on earth. Founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the distillery holds the title of America's oldest registered distillery. Every drop of Jack Daniel's whiskey passes through the brand's signature Lincoln County Process, a slow filtration through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before barrel aging, which gives the whiskey its distinctly smooth character.
Unlike bourbon, Tennessee Whiskey must be made in the state of Tennessee and must undergo charcoal mellowing. Jack Daniel's pioneered this process and continues to define the category over 150 years later.

Jack Daniel's FAQs
What is Tennessee Whiskey?
