In 1904, Jack Daniel was persuaded to enter his Old No.7 Tennessee sippin' whiskey in an exhibition and tasting of fine whiskeys at the World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. His was one of 20 whiskeys entered from around the world, but it was the only one awarded the World's Fair Gold Medal as the world's best whiskey. Since then, this world-renowned, charcoal-mellowed whiskey has won seven international gold medals, including the one Jack Daniel won the very next year in Liege, Belguim.
This particular Gold Medal now shines with rich luster on the sides of a 1912 Ford Model T. The image of the handsomely engraved and minted medal with its "TENNESSEE WHISKEY" banner comes straight from Jack Daniel Distillery archives. Your die-cast model is also accented with a "JACK DANIEL'S" sign on top, gold-tone trim and decorative flourishes that define the distinctive styling of this classic automotive legend. Precision-engineered to the highest standards by Matchbox Collectibles, your handsome showpiece has been issued to commemorate the 150th birthday of Jack Daniel. This officially authorised die-cast model has been produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
