Jack Daniel's One of the 78 barrel houses at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
The distillery was founded when Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel ran away from home and started making whiskey with a Lutheran Minister when he was about seven years old.
"Church people started talking about how the minister was working for God on Sunday and then making liquor on Monday. In order to keep the church family happy the Minister sold the business to Jack for $25," distillery tour guide Jesse James told Business Insider.
Every single drop of Jack Daniel's is only manufactured in a 150-year-old distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn., a site named on the US Department of the Interior's Register of Historic Places.
"I believe the endurance and success of Jack Daniel's is the result of our ability to continue to operate according to Mr. Jack's lifelong motto, 'Every day we make it, we'll make it the best we can,'" Jack Daniel's president Mark McCallum said.
The 1,700-acre operation has around 435 workers, ships out 119 million bottles in a year, and is sold in more than 165 countries.
And according to Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Jeff Arnett, the US military buys the most of the brand's premium Single Barrel whiskey in the world.
