Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tennessee Whisky question

Got some whiskey for the holidays (as a gift).

When did Jack Daniel's change the shape of the bottle?

They used to be curvy in the middle and now they are square without the corrugations..

They switched from a mason jar in 1933

Time for a wild and outlandish campfire claim:

I have probably the oldest jack daniels bottle. I will go silent if my claims are challenged and refuse to post pics.

lol

Are you by chance one of the privileged few that have been deeded property in Lynchburg as a result of patronizing the jack daniels empire?

When did Lem Motlow sell? I know it was before I was born. I also don't remember when they dropped it from 90 proof

I can’t remember, but I was probably drinking

Whisky critic.

Gotta be mathman’s website.

I do not remember the exact date J.D. was sold to one of the huge booze corporations, but I was in college and I believe the sale was made in 1956/57. (??) I remember it was hard for a time to find J.D. on alcohol stores' shelves, but I do remember that when it was later possible to again start buying "Jack," it never tasted as good as the original, before the company was sold.

Of course, that was a long time ago and I later became a Scotch man. Don't know what J.D. tastes like today.

Damn, that Phu cker is old.

My grandads grandad hunted pheasants with John Daniels. After he became famous he went by "Jack" for marketing purposes.

That's cooler than hell Slum

I thought his name was Jasper?

That's what they want you to think. John is what's on his birth certificate.....

Name was jasper not John. I’d say you got told a big one growing up.

Birth certificate isn’t even available. Read his biography. He doesn’t even truly know his real birthday because fire destroyed Lynchburg courthouse and his mother died not long after birth.

Been 30 years since I pheasant hunted with a droppable name.

lol

Is it pretty safe to say "YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!"?
LOL
