Nelson Eddy: The Legend and Lore of Jack Daniel’s

For everything we know with rock-solid certainty about Mr. Jack
Daniel and the distillery that bears his name, a thousand more
myths have popped up over the years. It’s to be expected when the
famous square bottle and iconic black and white label, not to
mention the whiskey inside, have touched the farthest reaches of
the globe. On this episode, we talk with Nelson Eddy, the
distillery’s longtime writer and historian, about the questions
he gets posed as the keeper of the distillery’s legend, about the
true significance of the Old No. 7, and about how what was true
in Mr. Jack’s day largely remains true today when it comes to
what’s made in and around the barrel.
