Jack Daniel’s Distillery, located in Lynchburg, Tennessee, has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel, the founder, was born in 1846. He learned the art of distilling from a local preacher and distiller named Dan Call. In 1866, Jack Daniel registered his distillery, making it the first registered distillery in the United States.

The distillery’s success grew rapidly, and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey became renowned for its unique charcoal mellowing process, known as the Lincoln County Process. This method involves filtering the whiskey through charcoal made from sugar maple wood, giving it a distinct smoothness.

Jack Daniel passed away in 1911, and his nephew, Lem Motlow, took over the distillery. During Prohibition, the distillery faced significant challenges, including a temporary shutdown. However, it resumed production after the repeal of Prohibition.

In 1956, the distillery was sold to the Brown-Forman Corporation, which continues to produce Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey to this day. The brand has become iconic, known for its distinctive square bottles and black label, and remains a symbol of American whiskey craftsmanship.
