Fast Facts
- Contrary to popular belief Jack Daniel’s isn’t bourbon. The spirit is charcoal filtered, which is forbidden by government bourbon making rules.
- Thanks to a courthouse fire, the exact birth date of Jack Daniel is unknown.
- Why Jack Daniel named his whiskey “Old No. 7” is also a mystery. But there are some theories: it may be the number of girlfriends he had, the way he wrote the letter “J” or because it’s lucky.

Ole Jack is a great sippin whiskey,right out of the bottle.Who would mix this booze with anything else? Kinda like the person that drinks Crown Royal with coke!!!
i agree Jack Daniels is better straight !!!!!
Jack daniel must have been a man with fine tastes, he certainly knew a fine sippin’ whiskey! I am a jack daniel’s fan for eternity!!!
This is a standard for excellent American whiskey. If you can afford it, go for the Gentleman Jack product. The smoothness and flavor is unparalleled.
hello guys…!!!
can u make me clear about jack daniel? is it bourbon whiskey or not?if yes, why has written on the bottle?thanks!!
Jack Daniel’s is not a bourbon, but is actually Tennessee whiskey. The main difference is that the brand famously drips the alcohol through ten feet of charcoal. It also doesn’t have to follow the strict laws concerning what is and what is not bourbon. For more info on bourbon, see our Bourbon 101 article: http://liquor.com/articles/bourbon-101/
love it Whether it is Bourbon or not. I love it,
Jack isn’t a bourbon, but it is some smooth sipping whiskey. Only liquor I drink, and I agree with some earlier posts, anyone that like Jack Daniels, does NOT mix anything with it. Straight up. I don’t even care for it on the rocks.
I bought a bottle of Jack about a year ago, and I still have half bottle in the liquor cabinet. I like canadian whisky better.
thats too bad that you haven’t aquired a taste for the finer things of life, I know that your palate is in total disagreement with your sensory input
well I am a gentlejack on the rocks man myself haven’t found anything better.
you should try Jack Daniels Single Barrel the next level up on the rocks is how i drink it
JD really isn’t my flavor. Even before I knew about the charcoal filtration and charred barrels I tasted something that was off compared to others. IMO Makers Mark is a much smoother straight Bourbon. As for blends I really enjoy American Honey.
