Jack Daniels, the worlds best selling whiskey, comes from North Americas oldest registered distillery, the Jack Daniel Distillery. The Distillery, founded in 1866 by Mr. Jack Daniel in Lynchburg (pop. 361), Tennessee, is one of the most well-known producers of whiskey in the world. Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey is made with the finest corn, rye and barley malt. Its distinctive character is a result of natural fermentation, careful distillation, and use of the Distillerys iron-free water from the Cave Spring that runs at a constant 56 F.
