Back in 1866, Jack Daniel's became the first registered distillery in the United States; today, it is the top-selling whiskey in the world. All around the globe, people recognize the iconic black-and-white label on the equally iconic square bottle. And with a brand value of 4 billion, that doesn’t come as much of a surprise!
For much of the brand’s 155-plus years, the story went that the young Jack Daniel learned his trade from a pastor. But as it turns out, the tale is actually quite a bit more complicated than that…

@tedburnell5356 Год назад

This account misses out on the Harry Lippman loan to Matlow to get the company restarted after prohibition. It was also Lippman's ability to market and distribute that helped make the brand as well know as it got. The two of them hated each other during prohibition, as they were competing in selling moonshine illegally. A judge had them drive together to take their whisky out of state to Kentucky, and they became fast friends. There is a beer in Tennessee called Hap and Harry's to commemorate the friendship that made them both very rich.

I was more of a bourbon sipper when I drank, I gave up the drink ten years ago and haven't looked back. I had once again woke up in the drunk tank and this time I had to sit for a full twelve hours and boy did my head hurt, as I sat there I realized I wasn't being a very good example for the young people of my Indigenous community and I wasn't representing my people in a good way. I had become the stereotypical drunk, passing out in public places, being bulligerant and public nuisance and I decided then and there that I would quit drinking and enjoy sobriety, it worked whereas in the past I said I was going to try. Now I'm thirty years clean and ten years sober.
