History of the BottleIn 1866, Jack Daniel first bottled his whiskey in earthenware jugs with cork stoppers. To distinguish his whiskey from others, he stenciled his name on the jugs. By the late 1870s, however, glass bottles became the rage. So Mr. Jack developed a standard, round, glass-mold bottle embossed with the distillery name. But Mr. Jack was an innovator and this bottle didn't satisfy him for long. Since his charcoal-mellowed whiskey was different, he decided the bottle he put it in should be different.In 1895, a salesman with Illinois Alton Glass Company showed Mr. Jack a unique, new, untested bottle design - a square bottle with a fluted neck. More than 100 years later, the square bottle remains a symbol for Jack Daniel's quality - full of character, just like the whiskey it holds. And proving once and for all that it's hip to be square.

Unlike other whiskey Jack is made by a process known as Charcoal mellowing. The process involves slowly dripping the newly made whiskey through giant containers hard-packed with 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. The process takes ten days, and during this time the whiskey absorbs the essence of the charcoal, refining the spirit and giving it a unique flavor and aroma.
