The slave who taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey

As a native middle Tennesseean, I begrudgingly agree. My dad would kill me for saying that.

False story

One thing you learn when you get into whiskey history, especially American whiskey, an overwhelming majority of origination stories are entirely false and fabricated, or very misleading. All to serve a marketing purpose. And right now, the anti-white privilege/pro-black marketing campaign is in vogue.

That reply tells us jack. Try again.

It explained everything. Almost all whiskey stories are fake and for marketing purposes.

It's a true story because there is a long history of whiskey making in Africa that was brought over to the us. That's why we call scotch, scotch. It's named after Scotland in sub Saharan Africa.

Does it really matter who taught who how to make whiskey? Every distiller, brewer, chef, etc. learned from someone. It's not like the slave made the whiskey the whole time and JD is just slapping their label on the bottle. Further more are you buying a product just for the back story or are you buying it because it's a good product? Frankly I couldn't careless about the story, I want a good product. I care more about the steak not the sizzle.

Don't you know by now no white every invented anything or did anything meaningful?

Well, to be honest. All we have from the op is a tabloid saying that the distillery has "admitted" this apocryphal sounding story. Smells like a marketing gimmick to me.
