Origin stories

The Jack Change It cocktail is an original and unique blend that pays homage to the American classic Jack Daniels whiskey. The cocktail is named after Jack Daniels, a distiller who founded his whiskey distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in 1866. What gives Jack Daniels its distinct character is the Lincoln County Process, a step whereby the spirit is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before being filled into barrels. This cocktail aims to "change" your perception of this traditional liquor by combining it with a mixture of sweet and sour elements, much like the diverse and vibrant culture of the American south. So, each sip takes you on a journey through the bold and rich history of American whiskey making, with a fresh twist.
