Jack Daniels Won't Stop Production

Jack Daniels Still Flowing




The entire southeast continues to suffer from extreme drought, and numerous news agencies have been reporting that the drought may make Jack Daniels distillery halt their production.

We visited the distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee to ask the Master Distiller, Jimmy Bedford what exactly was going on. He says that the rumors of stopping production are totally unfounded. The cave spring still has PLENTY of water to make the distinct flavor of Jack Daniels whiskey.

Measures are taken every day to make sure the cave spring water is used solely for whiskey production. Grains used in their whiskey making are safe too. They are brought in from other states that are not being affected by drought conditions.

(The story above was in response to a report on CNN that water levels from the cave spring at Jack Daniels were "dangerously low."

Maybe they should push their proof back up to 90. Cut back on the water content and give the good customers their moneys worth.
Just remember, as Elvis Hitler says "Man can not live on Wild Turkey alone. Even though its eight years old and 101 proof"

Relax. Black Label is aged 5 years, and Green for 3-4. It will be 2010 to 2012 before anyone even notices.
