Just like everything else in the Hollow, the
evolution of the Jack Daniel bottle has its own story. In 1866,
Jack Daniel first bottled his whiskey in earthenware jugs with
cork stoppers. To distinguish his whiskey from others, he stenciled
his name on the jugs. By the late 1870s, however, glass bottles
became the rage. So Mr. Jack developed a standard, round, glass-mold
bottle embossed with the distillery name. But Mr. Jack was an
innovator and this bottle didn't satisfy him for long. Since
his charcoal-mellowed whiskey was different, he decided the
bottle he put it in should be different.
In 1895, a salesman with Illinois Alton Glass
Company showed Mr. Jack a unique, new, untested bottle design
- a square bottle with a fluted neck. More than 100 years later,
the square bottle remains a symbol for Jack Daniel's quality
- full of character, just like the whiskey it holds. And proving
once and for all that it's hip to be square.
