Due to Prohibition whiskey production stopped in Chattanooga in 1920. And the post prohibition act only allowed 3 counties in Tennessee to make whiskey.

Jack Daniels Old No 7: With only the finest grains, pristine water from the Cave Spring Hollow,and mellowed drop-by-drop through sugar maple charcoal. We proudly age in new, handcrafted white oak barrels, the same way we’ve been doing for more than 150 years. And our Tennessee Whiskey doesn’t follow a calendar. It’s only ready when our tasters say it is. We judge it by the way it looks. By its aroma. And of course, by the way it tastes. It’s how Jack Daniel himself did it over a century ago. And how we still do it today. Palate: Balance of sweet and oaky Jack Daniels Bonded: Tennessee- Jack Daniel's "Bonded" Tennessee Whiskey is Bottled-in-Bond, aged in select barrels for added depth and character.

It delivers notes of honey, malt and soft oak leading to a long lasting well rounded finish.

Join MikeD and TI as we invite Steve back onto this episode! We go through a few of the unique expressions from Maker's Mark! Maker's Mark was created by T. William "Bill" Samuels Sr., who purchased the Burks' Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky in 1953. Production began in 1954 and the first bottles were bottled in 1958. The brand's signature red wax seal is still hand-dipped today. The story of Maker's Mark began when Bill Samuels Sr. accidentally set fire to the family's 170-year-old recipe. He then experimented with different grains to create his own mash bill. The family's quest was to create a bourbon they enjoyed drinking and sharing with friends. Maker's Mark was the world's first premium bourbon. The brand was acquired by Hiram Walker in 1981. The Wood Finishing Series first hit shelves in 2019, as a spin-off of sorts to the company's Private Selection program. The idea was to take everything Maker's Mark had already learned about wood science and really push the boundaries of their signature, steadfast bourbon in the form of limited releases.
