The United States licensed its first ever distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1866. This site is where Jack Daniels whiskey is still produced, today. Jack Daniel’s whiskey has become the top-selling whiskey in the United States due to few safety concerns involved in the distilling process. Also, prioritizing quality was Jack’s other focus, he said, “Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.”

And so Granpa taught little tree all about whiskey making and he learned how to use Granpa's prized still, which was all copper and very good quality.
