IT TAKES FIRE TO MAKE JACK

The adherence to detail that comes with making our whiskey starts with crafting our own charcoal for mellowing. It’s tough work, but nothing good comes easy. But when you’re building a 2000 degree fire on a hot summer day, boy, you kind of wish it would.

CORN, RYE, BARLEY & PRIDE

Our whiskey wouldn’t be what it is without Jack Daniel’s mash recipe. He found the perfect mix of corn, rye, and barley recipe and we haven’t changed it since.

MELLOWED DROP BY DROP

We let our whiskey slowly drip through 10 ft of hard sugar maple charcoal so it comes out with its distinctive smoothness. It’s a costly, time consuming process and if it sounds extravagant, well, it is.
