Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand Review

For years bourbon drinkers  have known when you think Tennessee bourbons you instantly think two letters; JD.  Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand is not only a grand old bourbon, but over the years it has become an symbolic American Icon.  

Made and distributed in Lynchburg, Tennessee, by founder Jack Daniels, Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand has been featured and acknowledged in countless films, commercials, television shows, major sponsors of rodeos, auto races and just about every rock concert I've attended.  It's distinguished logo accompanied with the "Old # 7 symbol is one of the most recognized labels in bourbons world-wide.

When I worked the cattle ranch in Kansas, besides having an abundant supply of coffee it was mandatory to have a couple of bottles of Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand stashed in the Chuck Wagon, for medicinal purposes of course.  It's charcoal filter and smokey taste to the novice palate may be too strong a libation, but over time this smooth, warm amber colored bourbon mellows your tastebuds with each sip.  Some of the cowhands would say, "It's more like an old friend than a bottle of whiskey."

Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand isn't the drink for everyone. If you've had the pleasure of becoming an intimate friends with Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand you have a loyal friend for life.  It won't let you down in flavor and is one heck of a good sippin' whiskey.  In my opinion [my preference] "neat" is the way to honor this Tennessee legend but which ever way you like it Jack Daniel's Old #7 Brand is in my opinion is the distinguished icon among bourbons.

 Noteworthy: The question most folks ask is: "What does the Old # 7 mean?"  Some say old number 7 stands for how many years it takes to make a barrel of Jack Daniels.  It could also acknowledge the Jeff Arnett (7th Master Distiller)
