This Christmas give a loved one a gift with someone else’s name on it, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.

Mr Jasper Newton’Jack’ Daniel  registered his distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1866, next to the cool, cave spring water at’the hollow’, which just happens to be perfect for making whiskey. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey still comes from the same place today.

Mr. Jack’s whiskey still follows a process pioneered back in the 1800’s where the unaged whiskey is’mellowed’ drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal – a process called’The Extra Blessing’ which gives the whiskey its smoothness.

This extra step makes a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey just that, a Tennessee Whiskey and not a Bourbon.

Why not add a taste of Tennessee to the festivities, by mixing up a Jack Daniel’s cocktail?
