Jack Daniel is a man revered by rebels and rock stars. In 1866, four years after Jasper "Jack" Daniel became a licensed distiller at the ripe old age of 16, he founded the nation's oldest distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. For more than 150 years, the distillery's iconic Jack Daniel's Whiskey has endured high liquor taxes, prohibition, and even the transformation of its headquarters into a dry county, to become the world's most popular whiskey with more than $2 billion in sales.
Jack Daniel is so beloved that his grave is adorned with two chairs bordering the immense headstone so the many visitors can sit and honor the life of this American titan. But Daniel's legacy was not just in his whiskey, a favorite of connoisseurs around the world, but also in his numerous philanthropic endeavors.
