The "Good Friday" Bottle
The "Good Friday" Bottle
Friday evenings in most jobs are anticipated for being the start of a relaxing weekend. However, the first Friday of the month is a little different here at The Jack Daniel Distillery. There's a bit of excitement in the air and everyone has a spring in their step - and for good reason.It’s on this day employees are given a bottle of the whiskey they helped craft.. It’s our way of showing our appreciation for the hard work they do every day. And as you might expect, we’ve never had anyone call in sick on a “First Friday Gathering” day.
From time to time, employees are surprised by a slightly more unusual bottle. This may be a limited Legacy Edition or a bottle created in memory of one of our great Master Distillers. Once it was a rare 1-liter bottle intended for export only. The following Monday, one of the staff found out that the bottle was worth about two hundred dollars. He thought about it for a moment, then relaxed to note that he had spent his weekend enjoying a very expensive whiskey.
As people here know, there are some extra benefits for making Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey - and there isn't much better than enjoying a glass of Jack Daniel’s with good friends on Friday night after work is done - especially when that bottle was free.
