"Seit dem Bestehen der Jack Daniel's Distillery hat sich eines nie verändert und das ist die Hingabe, mit der wir unseren Whiskey herstellen. Im Jahre 1981 wurde Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey daher von einer internationalen Jury in Amsterdam mit einer von insgesamt 7 Goldmedaillen prämiert. Aus diesem Anlass gibt es jetzt die limitierte Edition Jack Daniel’s 1981 Gold Medal in der 1 Liter Sonderflasche (43% Vol.) inkl. Spezialbox." Wer will, kann seine Flasche wieder bei Jack Daniel registrieren lassen. Interessant der geschichtliche Abriß auf der Packung: "It had been 27 years since the Jack Daniel Distillery had entered a Gold Medal competition, and much had happened with the Distillery during that time. Within two years of winning the 1954 Star of Excellence in Brussels, Belgium, Jack Daniel´s had experienced a 100 percent sales increase as well as a change in ownership. Lem Motlow´s four sons – Reagor, Robert, Hap and Conner – sold the Distillery to Brown-Forman Corporation in 1956. Jack Daniel´s continued to experience tremendous growth, with volume increasing tenfoldby the end of the 1970´s. Our Tennessee Whiskey was being sold throughout the world and had developed a loyal and diverse following, from bankers to bikers, from movie stars to rock stars. Despite all these changes, however, there was nothing different about our commitment to making our whiskey. And we thought it was important to demonstrate that commitment by entering the Brussels-based Monde Selection Institut Pour Les Selections De La Qualité in 1981. The judges awarded Jack Daniel´s Tennessee Whiskey the institution´s top medal, the “Grand Gold Medal with Palm Leaves,” during ceremonies held that year in Amsterdam. Another quarter of a century has passed, and we still adhere to Mr Jack´s philosophy in making sure our whiskey is of the highest quality: “Every day we make it, we´ll make it the best we can."
