Hate to disagree with you on the Old #7 Brand Jack Daniels. On our tour they asked the people if anyone knew what it stood for. There were all sorts of legandary stories. The guide told us that Uncle Jack, as they refer to him, past on the business upon his death to his nephew(it is the name at the bottom of the bottle that says Lem ???? prop.,)I don't have bottle to look at and tell you the name and now it escapes me. His nephew and Uncle Jack knew what it stood for but forgot to pass it onto his nephew's 4 sons who now owned it next therefore no one knows what it stands for. Another piece of triva: Jack Daniels was not a big seller until after WWII. General Patton trained his troops in the hills around Jack Daniels Holler. At night the 4 sons of the nephew would go out to the troops and give away free Tennessee Sipping Whiskey (it took an act of Congress to make the term TSW and JD was and I believe is the only one). At the end of the war liquor stores all over the country had requests from returning GIs wanting Jack Daniels and thus it was pulled through the market by requests. It also didn't hurt that Frank Sinatra used to come out on stage with a bar stool with a bottle of JD and every so often he would stop and say that he was going to go over and talk with his friend Jack Daniels. And now you know the rest of the story!!
