Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniels himself started the product development in 1875 with the original Old No. 7 (Tennessee Online, 2015).

Looking at the Jack Story backwards, for the two products in the introduction phase of product life cycle, Brown Foreman has recently invested in launching the Tennessee Fire label not too long after the Rested Tennessee Rye (Jack Daniels.com, 2015). The Ready-to-drink products and the Tennessee Honey (2008) have been there a little longer and make up the Growth stage (JackDaniels.com, 2015). These two products have shown slow but steady rise in the sales since they were initially launched (Brown-Foreman Corporation, 2014). The three mainstream and mature pillar products of the Jack Daniel’s line up are the Single Barrel (1997), the Gentleman Jack (1988) and the Old No. 7(1875)
