DFS Group partners with Brown-Forman to celebrate 150 years of Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Travellers will enjoy the year-long celebration at DFS stores in airports across Asia and North America – and the chance to buy exclusive bottles of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel.<\/p>\n

DFS Group will be joining Brown-Forman Global Travel Retail in a year-long celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Jack Daniel\u2019s Distillery in Tennessee. The Jack Daniel\u2019s anniversary-related promotional activities will take place in DFS stores in airports in North America, Hong Kong, Singapore and India.<\/p>\n

Jack Daniel founded the now world-famous Tennessee distillery in 1866 at the source of limestone water flowing from a cave spring. Jack Daniel\u2019s has been at the forefront of whiskey-making ever since and is now sold in more than 165 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the DFS\u2019 Jack Daniel\u2019s promotional activity will be the selection of unique individual barrels of Jack Daniel\u2019s Single Barrel to be bottled and sold at DFS airport stores in New York<\/a> (JFK), San Francisco<\/a> (SFO), Los Angeles<\/a> (LAX) and Honolulu<\/a> (HON) as well as Hong Kong<\/a> (HKG) and Singapore<\/a> (SIN). These barrels were selected by DFS teams whilst working with Jack Daniel\u2019s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett and Assistant Master Distiller Chris Fletcher in obtaining a well-rounded flavour with a perfect balance of sweet caramel, vanilla and spice. The bottles can only be purchased in those particular DFS outlets and each bottle will carry a special DFS and 150th Anniversary medallion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, Chris Fletcher, who has served as the Jack Daniel\u2019s assistant master distiller since 2014, made a special appearance on the evening of May 9, 2016 at the Raffles Bar in the Changi Terminal 3 Departure Duplex store. While there, he discussed the rich history of the Jack Daniel\u2019s Distillery and signed the special DFS 150th Anniversary bottles. Fletcher offers an unusual insight into the history of the distillery because his grandfather was former Master Distiller, Frank Bobo, and as a young boy he would frequently accompany him to work.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the participation of DFS in the Jack Daniel\u2019s Distillery 150th Anniversary celebration, Finbar Boyle, Director of Brown-Forman Travel Retail for Asia\/Pacific, noted that the luxury travel retail company and the Tennessee Whiskey were, and always have been, a good match.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Jack Daniel\u2019s and DFS have long-held reputations for high quality and authenticity. It is only natural that DFS would partner with us in celebrating this outstanding milestone in the storied history of Jack Daniel\u2019s Tennessee Whiskey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with Jack Daniel\u2019s to celebrate this important milestone exclusively at DFS stores around the world,\u201d said Brooke Supernaw, DFS Group\u2019s Senior Vice President, Spirits, Wine and Tobacco. \u201cHere at DFS we\u2019re committed to providing travelers with exceptional product and memorable experiences and we\u2019re confident customers will love joining in on the year-long celebration of Jack Daniel\u2019s unique heritage and exclusive product.\u201d<\/p>\n
