Jack Daniel's 1904 Gold Medal
In 1904, at the urging of family and friends, Jack Daniel took some of his whiskey to the World’s Fair whiskey competition in St. Louis, Missouri. Not many of the big distillers gave Mr. Jack much of a chance, but when it was over, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey was declared the finest whiskey in the world and was awarded the Gold Medal. This 750ml bottle, released in 1996, was the first in a series honoring each Gold Medal won by Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.

Jack Daniel’s Distillery was founded in 1866, according to other sources 1875, in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Jasper Newton Jack Daniel was born in 1850 in a family of 13. Jack Daniel received a license to produce Whiskey at the age of 16, being the first distiller which was registered in America. After Jack’s dead in 1911 the distillery became the property of Jack’s cousin Lem Motlow. Because of the prohibition in Tennessee, the company began distilling operations in St Louis, Missouri, and Birmingham, Alabama, though none of the production from these locations was ever sold due to quality problems. The Jack Daniel’s distillery ceased operations from 1942 to 1946, when the U.S. government banned the manufacture of whiskey due to World War II. The company was later incorporated as “Jack Daniel Distillery, Lem Motlow, Prop., Inc.” This has allowed the company to continue to include Lem Motlow, who died in 1947, in its marketing, since mentioning him in the advertising is technically just citing the full corporate name. The company was sold to the Brown-Forman Corporation in 1956.
