CHASING WHISKEY –
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?
Acclaimed filmmaker Greg Olliver traveled 57,000 miles and 16 times zones to discover the secret behind the No. 1-selling whiskey in the world and its dynamic impact on music, movies and people. The result is an entertaining, thoughtful, sometimes comedic journey called “Chasing Whiskey – The Untold Story of Jack Daniel’s.” The film follows a case of America’s beloved whiskey from Lynchburg, Tennessee, where every drop of revered Old No. 7 whiskey is made, to the far-flung outback of Australia. Along the way, we spend time with whiskey aficionados and cultural gurus; whiskey, music and movie makers; fans, friends and founding families; Eric Church, Tina Sinatra, John Grisham, Shooter Jennings, Tim Matheson, Matt Sorum and Joe Turkel and more to get at the heart of what makes this 150-year-old American brand what it is today. “Chasing Whiskey” searches out the untold stories of Jack Daniel’s while seeking to explain the international cultural phenomenon surrounding this brand born of small-town America. If you’re a lover of culture and whiskey and want a taste of the brand that brings the two together, you’ll enjoy the entertaining ride called “Chasing Whiskey.”
