This is the first of a series of the UK Master
Distiller released here in the UK over the Christmas period
2006. It was originally released as a bottle on its own, and then released together
the Leather Like
(magnetic flip top) box and tag as
a Master Distiller gift set. These were available in most high
street Chains Like Sainsburys, Asda and Tesco's.
They were available at normal black label prices
however demand is far greater now and they often
command prices in excess of
double the original purchase price.
Text on back of bottle :
The Jack Daniel's Distillery is proud to
present the Master Distiller Collection- a limited edition series
honouring the six men who have maintained the quality and tradition
of America's Oldest Registered Distillery since 1866. The first in
the series is appropriately devoted to our distillery founder, Mr
Jack Daniel.
Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was born in 1850. At an early age
Jack learned the art of whiskey-making from his friend, the Reverend
Dan Call. Soon afterwards, Jack purchased Reverend Call's business
and quickly became known in the area as a maker of fine whiskey.
Mr. Jack soon moved his operation alongside our famed cave spring
in Lynchburg, where the distillery still benefits from a continuous
flow of iron-free limestone water. He also proved his commitment to
quality by holding on to the charcoal-mellowing process when others
abandoned it for cheaper methods of making whiskey.
