Jack Daniel's spirits not only represent today the most famous and iconic Tennessee Whiskeys , but above all tell the story of a personal recovery, that of Jasper Newton Daniel, aka Jack, who was raised by Reverend Dan Call and his African servant- American Nathan "Nearest" Green, from whom he learned the art of distillation. Having grown up, Jack founded the Tennessee-registered distillery under license number 7, from which the “Old No. 7” whiskey was born. Since then, the production of Jack Daniel's follows the original recipe, with the same ingredients, the activated carbon filtration that makes the Jack particularly soft, and the refinement, which continues until the whiskey is not worthy of being called Jack. .

Whiskey Jack Daniel's: the ingredients of a masterpiece

Everyone knows that there are two basic ingredients of an excellent whiskey, and the same goes for Whiskey Jack Daniel's: water and cereals. Jack Daniel's Whiskey comes from a secret blend of cereals that includes 80% corn, responsible for its satisfying and overwhelming sweetness, 8% rye, which balances this sweetness with spicy notes and black pepper, and with a 12% of barley malt that infuses softness to the final distillate. To this mixture - called "mash" - pure water is added that gushes 3 kilometers deep, in the limestone rock of the Cave Spring Hollow.

Jack Daniel's: refinement and tips to enjoy it to the fullest
