Jack Daniel's Centennial 1904 Gold Medal (1.5l) with unregistered hangtag & box

 "In June, 1904, Mr.Jack Daniel loaded some of his best whiskey and traveled to St. Louis to compete at the World's Fair!  There he would mingle with the world's most famous distillers!

 When the excitement of the fair had subsided, Jack returned to Lynchburg to celebrate his new won fame. In honor of the event, he designed a uniquely shaped bottle, filled it with his award winning whiskey and gave it to the many people who were responsible for making his whiskey.  

 On the day of the judging, 24 tables were lined up in rows. The tables where filled with all the whiskeys in the competition. The judges moved slowly from whiskey to whiskey, tasting each, but being careful not to swallow the whiskey inside. They would then rinse their mouths with very cold water before moving to the next competitor.

As the afternoon drew on, all but 15 distilleries were eliminated. Each whiskey was sampled again, until finally the judges were ready to announce their decision. One of the English judges, Henry Hoctor, stepped forward and proclaimed in dramatic tones "Gentlemen the Gold Medal for the world's finest whiskey goes to Jack Daniel Distillery, Lynchburg, not Virginia, but Lynchburg in Tennessee."
