Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey 700 ml 700 ml glass bottle

Mash, mellowing and strength. The grain recipe is 80 % corn, 12 % rye and 8 % malted barley, distilled in copper stills and then filtered through some three metres of sugar maple charcoal — the Lincoln County Process, which is what separates a Tennessee whiskey from a bourbon — before maturing in charred oak barrels.^[4] The bottle's own side panel puts it in four words: mellowed for smoothness drop by drop through sugar maple charcoal, matured for character in handcrafted barrels, tasted for flavour by masters, and awarded seven gold medals since 1904.^[5] Old No. 7 was bottled at 45 % vol until 1987 and has been sold at 40 % vol since 2002; this bottle is a 40 % vol one.^[4]

No panel, and why. The bottle carries neither an ingredient list nor a nutrition declaration, and under EU law it needs neither: Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 makes both particulars non-mandatory for beverages of more than 1,2 % alcohol by volume.^[6] The Ingredients rows here therefore record the published mash bill as a recipe rather than a label declaration, and the trade sheet for this EAN swaps the rye and malt figures, so those two rows are marked disputed.^[4][1]

Who stands behind it. The distillery in Lynchburg has been owned by Brown-Forman since 1956, and Brown-Forman's own annual report to the SEC lists Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey first among its principal beverage brands.^[7] The bottling company was incorporated as "Jack Daniel Distillery, Lem Motlow, Prop., Inc." after Lem Motlow, Jack Daniel's nephew and heir, died in 1947, and the bottle's side panel still honours Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel and the Cave Spring Hollow where he established the distillery.^[4][5] Both companies are still on Brown-Forman's list of subsidiaries as of 30 April 2026: Jack Daniel Distillery, Lem Motlow, Prop., Inc. under Tennessee, and Brown-Forman Beverages Europe, Ltd. under the United Kingdom.^[8] Brown-Forman itself was founded in Louisville, Kentucky in 1870, is incorporated in Delaware and is still family-controlled.^[9][10] Its legal entity identifier is 549300873K3LXF7ARU34.^[11]

The barcode. The 5099873 prefix is a GS1 UK one, which identifies the company that licensed the number and not the country of origin; the group's UK company, Brown-Forman Beverages, Europe, Ltd of 45 Mortimer Street, London, has been on the register since 22 December 2000, is still listed as a subsidiary in Brown-Forman's Exhibit 21 as of 30 April 2026, and is the entity a UK wholesaler names as the supplier of this EAN, so it is recorded as the probable prefix owner with status derived.^[12][8]

Where it is sold. The barcode is an active line at a UK wholesaler at an RRP of GBP 29.99, at a Latvian retailer in Riga at EUR 20.98 and at a Cypriot retailer at EUR 19.00, all three re-checked on 12 September 2026 and all three listing this exact EAN.^[1][2][3] A Slovak importer's listing at EUR 22.80, read a day earlier, has since gone: its page now answers a rendered 404, so Slovakia is kept as a dated observation rather than a current market.^[13] Open Food Facts also tags Belgium, France and Germany for this barcode, and its contributor-entered origin field reads "Slowakei"; those are contributor claims rather than sources, and only the countries with a listing under this EAN are recorded in country_of_sale.^[14]
