Lem soon introduced a white-labelled, lighter version of Jack’s Whiskey. Jack Daniel's proudly continue this tradition with Jack Daniel's 1907.

Drury's Whisky
In a lot of ways, Chivas Regal is remembered and even revered as the first luxury whisky of its time. Way back in 1909, when the Chivas Regal 25 first allowed whisky lovers a glimpse into what a truly divine blended Scotch is, no one had quite done what the house of Chivas did with their Scotch whiskies. Whether it is the antiquity of having spent a quarter of a century in some of the finest Oak barrels known to mankind, or a groundbreaking innovation that first changed the game over a century ago, the Chivas Regal 25 does it marvelously.
