About Jack Daniel's
Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey has been distilled in Lynchburg since 1866, filtered through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before ageing, a step called the Lincoln County Process that distinguishes it from bourbon. It is sold in a square bottle and Lynchburg sits in a dry county where it cannot be bought.
