Jack Daniel’s 150th Birthday 1850 to 2000, 750ml

$599.00
Overview

This one's a proper rarity. Released in 1999/2000 to mark what would have been Jack Daniel's 150th birthday (he was born around 1850), it's not the same bottle as the 2016 "150th Anniversary" release that marks the distillery's founding, so don't mix them up. Made at the same Lynchburg, Tennessee distillery, using the same charcoal mellowing process behind every bottle of Old No. 7. This is one for the collectors and long-time JD drinkers, and it's something you won't see on a normal shelf.

What sets this bottle apart

  • Hard to find, this isn't a bottle you'll see sitting on a normal shelf
Distillery Information

Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, is the oldest registered distillery in the US, founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel. This bottling doesn't mark that founding; it marks what would have been Jack's own 150th birthday, since nobody's ever pinned down his exact birth date. That makes it a different story to the more common 2016 anniversary bottle.

Who this bottle is for

JD collectors after something outside the standard lineup

Long-time Jack Daniel's drinkers who want a bit of history in the cabinet

Anyone building a collection worth talking about

Gift buyers after a bottle with a real story behind it

How to enjoy

  • Best treated as a collector's pour, neat and unhurried
  • A drop of water can open it up if you do decide to crack it
  • Given how rare it is, plenty of collectors keep this one sealed and on display

Why we curate it

This is a genuine piece of Jack Daniel's history, marking Jack's own birthday rather than the distillery's. Bottles like this don't come around often, and it's a solid pickup whether you're planning to drink it or add it to the shelf.
