Jack Daniel's Single Barrel 100 Proof 75th Anniversary of D-Day Landing Limited Edition Tennessee Whiskey (2018) 70cl

This 100 proof single barrel is in commemoration of the sacrifices made 75 years on from the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, on 6th June 1944. The Allies launched Operation Overlord against Hitler's Atlantic Wall with an estimated 150,000 troops, 11,500 aircraft and nearly 7000 vessels.

These forces were predominantly from the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Canada. The landings are the largest amphibious invasion in history and marked a significant turning point with the Second World War in Europe ending less than a year later following its liberation from Nazi tyranny.

"The eyes of the world are upon you. The Hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you" - General Dwight D. Eisenhower

About Jack Daniel's

Jack Daniel's is the best-selling American whiskey in the world. Despite that fact it can legally be categorised as a straight bourbon, it has always shunned this title, preferring to market itself as a Tennessee Whiskey. These are similar to straight bourbons but have the additional requirement of having been filtered through maple wood charcoal, a practice known as the Lincoln County Process. History has not always given the distillery an easy ride though. Tennessee was an early adopter of Prohibition in 1910, and one of the last to repeal it in 1938 (five years later than the repeal at Federal level). Even today the distillery is still located in a "dry" county, meaning none of its products are sold in its hometown or those around it. The distillery was then only operational for four years before being forced to close again during the second world war. Ten years later it was purchased by the Brown-Forman corporation and its fortunes turned for good. Its classic black-labelled Old No.7 brand (named after the distillery’s original DSP number) is now a globally recognised product.
