Produced by Larrance/ Watson Associates, this promotional film from the 1970s — dubbed in Italian — sheds light on the origin story as well as the manufacturing process of the famed Jack Daniel’s Whiskey. The film was shot in Lynchburg, Tennessee at Jack Daniel’s Hollow, and takes the viewer on a tour of the distillery. Originally founded and owned by Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel in the late-1800s, the company is now managed by Brown-Forman Corporation.
