Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was "Jack" Daniel's full name?

Answer: Jasper Newton Daniel

 The youngest of ten children, Jasper Newton Daniel was given the nickname "Jack" when he was young, this would become the name we all know him by. Mystery is abundant in the world of Jack Daniel, starting with a courthouse fire destroying any record of his birth, and a legacy left with many unanswered questions like "What does the No.7 stand for?"...
2. What was the name of the Reverend who sold Jack Daniel his whiskey still?

Answer: Dan Call

 Dan Call hired Jack at the age of seven to work in a store he owned. The Reverend later sold Mr Daniel his still after his wife insisted he focus more on his congregation.
3. How old was Jack Daniel when he bought the still?

Answer: 13

 Mr Daniel became the owner of his first still at the age of thirteen and was taught to distill whiskey the Tennessee way by a slave who belonged to its previous owner.
4. In what year did Jack Daniel register his distillery?

Answer: 1866

 In 1866 Jack Daniel's became the first registered distillery in the United States and remains the oldest producer of distilled spirits in the USA. Oddly, Lynchburg remains to this day a dry county, meaning that to taste Lynchburg's finest product you have to leave the county!
5. In what year did the Old No.7 brand win its first Gold Medal for "World's Best Whiskey", which it won at the World's Fair in St. Louis?

Answer: 1904

 In 1904, out of an admittedly fairly small selection of 20 whiskeys, Jack Daniel's Old No.7 was voted as the "best in the world". The Old No.7 would go on to win four more Gold Medals and a Star of Excellence.
6. Jack Daniel's uses a classic method of filtering its whiskey through charcoal giving it a unique flavour. What type of wood is used in the process?

Answer: Sugar Maple

 The Jack Daniel's Distillery uses Sugar Maple charcoal for mellowing, before storing the whiskey in specially toasted white oak barrels. Old No.7 is not aged by calendar, but it is only taken from these barrels when expert tasters say it is ready.
7. Mr Daniel was met with an untimely death due to an unlucky decision. What was it that Jack did to bring on his demise?

Answer: Kicked a safe, breaking his toe

 One day, after coming in early for work and forgetting the combination, in an outburst of frustration, Mr Daniel kicked his office safe which broke his big toe. This led to an infection and he eventually died in 1911 from blood poisoning.
8. With no children to pass on his distillery to, Mr. Daniel deeded it to his cousin Dick Daniel and his dedicated and hard working nephew. After Dick sold his share to Jack's nephew, he became the sole proprieter. What was his name?

Answer: Lem Motlow

 As his health deteriorated, in 1907 Jack handed over the distillery to Lem Motlow, the son of Jack's sister Finetta, and his cousin Dick. Dick sold his share to Lem. Known as a good person and talented businessman, Lem restarted the distillery after the end of prohibition.
9. The process of mellowing whisky through a particular variety of wood was employed by producers of the best brands of Tennessee Whiskey, including Jack Daniel's. What is this process called?

Answer: The Lincoln County Process

 The Lincoln County Process was named as such because Tennessee Whisky coming from Lincoln County was considered the very best at the time. Filtering their whiskey through sugar maple charcoal gave the liquor a unique taste.
10. One very well known Jack Daniel's drinker was famously buried with a bottle of Old No.7. Who was this?

Answer: Frank Sinatra

 In 1998 at the age of 82, Ol' Blue Eyes passed away in Los Angeles, California. On May 20th 1998 he was buried with his Old No.7 at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City after a funeral attended by over 400 people.
