    		Legend has it that Old No. 7 referred to Jack and his six friends who had the original idea for this special type of whiskey. Legend also reports that they enjoyed many a long lazy day, evening and night sampling and perfecting until the ultimate whiskey was born.

    		Some say that Jack Daniel had 7 girlfriends, or that the way he wrote his “J” looked like a 7. Some say he chose the number 7 simply because it’s lucky.
    One story goes that the recipe for Jack Daniel’s was Mr. Jack’s 7th recipe or 7th trial batch.
    Another story says that it was the railroad shipping number on a barrel. We’ll never know for sure – Mr. Jack took that secret to the grave.
