Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Brand Old-Time Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey is a whiskey and not a bourbon. Unlike bourbon, Jack Daniel's is charcoal-mellowed smooth, drop by drop through 10 feet of charcoal made from sugar maple.
Remaining true to Jack Daniel's original recipe and charcoal-mellowed character means folks today enjoy the same sipping whiskey awarded seven international gold medals, including the one collected by Mr. Jack Daniel himself in 1904 at the St. Louis Exposition and World's Fair. It was honored then as 'the world's best whiskey.' The black and white label on Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 is much like the whiskey itself in that it has not changed since Jack Daniel registered his distillery in 1866.
What is the origin of 'Old No. 7'?
No one really knows for sure where the term 'Old No. 7' came from. Anyone claiming to know the 'real' story behind the famous Jack Daniel's 'Old No. 7 Brand' name can just get in line behind all the others! Some folks will tell you it had to do with a lucky roll of the dice. Others will claim it refers to Mr. Jack's seventh try at a mash recipe. There is even one legend about seven lost barrels of whiskey that Mr. Jack wrote '7' on for identification when they were finally found. One tale is apparently as valid as another; the fact is no one knows exactly which one is the truth but everyone knows that Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey is exceptionally smooth whiskey with a deeper Jack Daniel's taste. For all who admire the quality of Jack Daniel's, it is indeed a special gift.

In 1904, this specially distilled Whiskey received a gold medal at the International (worldwide) tradefair in St. Louis.
Mr. Jack Daniel liked to present his friends with a special gift.
The gift was Jack Daniel's whiskey that had to be from a special location in a certain barrel-house which, he knew took on a darker colour and a richer Jack Daniel's taste.
He would set the whiskey aside, sign the labels, and keep a small supply for close friends and gift-giving.
Today, Mr. Jack Daniel's Master Distiller is hand selected from the same special locations in their barrel-houses that Mr. Jack discovered.
Engraving and Gilding
If your order involves engraving and or gilding, you would be sent an image of the texts and artwork to be engraved by email, for your approval before engraving. We will not engrave your work until you have given us your consent to do so.
Smoothgift offers both Sandblasting engraving and Hand engraving methods. Sandblasting engraving is a true form of art. It is the most versatile form of engraving and as such, it requires specific skill set. It is distinct from other form of engraving like computer controlled form of engraving (e.g. cnc engraving, laser engraving, etc). With sandblasting engraving, no two engraved pieces are ever exactly the same.
Hand engraving is the most authentic form of engraving. It is almost as versatile form of engraving as sandblasting engraving. It shows character and just like sandblasting engraving, no two engraved pieces are ever the same.
Both engraving methods are perfect for texturing on all hard surfaces. While sandblasting cannot achieve deep engraving only on steel and metal surfaces, deep engraving and carving can be achieved with hand engraving or with a combination of sandblasting and hand engraving on steel, plexiglass, glass, acrylic, metals, woods, stones and on almost all other hard surface objects. The result is usually stunning and impressive. See more about our different engraving methods in "help" or "Engraving".
Gilding is an elaborate process that requires special skill set and plenty of time for drying but the beauty of the end product makes it worthy of the time and efforts put into making it.
Although our gilding services includes oil gilding, water gilding and powder buff gilding, only oil gilding is offered for most of the products on our website. However, our customers are welcome to request for either the traditional water gilding or powder buff gilding.
While water gilding and powder buff gilding cannot be burnished or polished, oil gilding can be.
Smoothgift offers the following leafs for gilding:
Real 24 karats gold leaf
Real silver leaf and
Imitation gold leaf
It is worth noting that while the imitation gold leaf gilding requires protection cover in form of clear acrylic sealer against potential UV damages, Real 24 karats gold leaf gilding and Real silver leaf gilding do not require any protection against the UV damages because they are genuine leafs. They will never tarnish or oxide. They will always retain their shines.
