Didn't JD used to say Lem Motlow on guard until the seal is broken?
Some months ago I looked at JD bottles and couldn't find it there.

As I remember through family lore, JD had no children, so his nephew Lem is who he entrusted with the distillery. When Jack Jasper Daniels passed away, Lem’s name went on the bottle. He actually kept things running through prohibition. Lem had four sons whom he entrusted to run the distillery, and who when they sold the distillery to Brown Foreman, stipulated in the contract the distillery remain in Lynchburg, and hire family members.

One of the later “corporate” decisions was later on to remove the founding date of the distillery, the population of Lynchburg, and also Lem’s (Lemo) name.

Lot’s of great stories and family lore surrounding the distillery, Lynchburg, Moore County and sour mash whisky.

JD and bourbon are both whiskeys. A TN whiskey (JD) is charcoal filtered before barrel aging. Belle Meade sherry cask is a particularly fine Tennessee whiskey and will be appreciated by any bourbon/whiskey drinker.

Correct. I should have said sour mash whiskey.

Thank you for the info update.
I forget companies get sold and many are not family owned any more.
