General Information
Jack Daniel’s is not just any whiskey, but an icon of American craftsmanship. Produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, it uses a unique, government-registered process called the Lincoln County Process, where the spirit is filtered through 3 meters of charcoal. This results in a notably smooth flavor. The whiskey is made from a blend of corn, rye, and malted barley, with pure water from the natural springs of Cave Spring.
