Smooth and approachable with sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of gentle spice.
Established in 1866, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is one of America's most iconic spirits, produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee. The distillery, registered as the oldest in the United States, continues to craft whiskey using the same process that Jack Daniel himself perfected over 150 years ago.
The Making Process
What sets Jack Daniel's apart is its unique charcoal mellowing process, known as the Lincoln County Process. The whiskey is filtered drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging, which creates its signature smoothness.
The whiskey is then matured in new, charred American white oak barrels in barrelhouses strategically built in Lynchburg. The varying temperatures throughout the seasons help the whiskey gain its rich color and character as it ages.

Territory
Jack Daniel's is proudly produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, a small town with a population of just about 6,000 people. Despite its size, the distillery produces every drop of Jack Daniel's sold worldwide. The limestone spring water used in production, Cave Spring Hollow, has been the water source since the distillery's founding.
Fun Facts

- Every bottle of Jack Daniel's begins with the number 7, though no one knows for certain why Jack chose this number.
- The distillery uses its own specially crafted sugar maple charcoal, burning the wood on-site for the mellowing process.
- Jack Daniel's is technically not a bourbon, but a Tennessee Whiskey, due to the additional step of charcoal mellowing.
