A Tennessee Squire

When I look back at my life, there will be milestones that I remember. Among them the day that I was invited to become a Tennessee Squire. I was invited into this exclusive organization by an existing squire and new friend Beth Herman.

I was serving drinks at our house one night and asked Beth what I could get her. She replied Jack Daniel's (and I knew would be fast friends right away). When I asked her if she preferred Black Jack or Gentlemen Jack she was impressed and then told me she was a Squire. She later offered to submit my name for membership consideration.

Several weeks later I got 'the package' in the mail. I have passed the review, I am in! I now have my own plot of land on the Jack Daniel distillery property.

Now as the squires before me have done, I am proud to toast....
May the sand in your joints turn to butter, May the ache in your back disappear, May your legs stay strong when the day grows long, May your shooting eye hold true and clear.


May you hunt every fall with your friends, And with Jack, drink a toast to your peers! May your game bag never be empty, And your season stay open for years.

Congratulations! I have been a fan of Jack since my brother bought me my first bottle for my 19th birthday (legal drinking age in Canada) I never knew there was a "membership" until this past week whilew buying a few things on ebay someone was selling some memberships. Terrible that someone would get rid of an item of that magnitude.

Congratulations Squire!

I have been a Squire since April of 1980.

I have kept all of the interesting and fun correspondance and gifts that I have received from my friends at the hollow over the years, including:

Black eyed peas for good luck on new years day

Sassafrass root to make tea with

Invitations to coon hunts and other happenings.

A note from Moore county informing me that the taxes were due on my plot - and then a follow up message from JD letting me know the taxes had been paid.

I also received a personalized note from Herb Fanning, whom I had the pleasure to meet, telling me about the "new" Gentleman Jack back in 1988.

I drove down to the distillery and bought a bottle of Gentleman from the first bottling (in Tullahoma...) and I still have that bottle full an sealed today.

Again - Congrats and....

May your sons be brave,
Your daughters marriageable,
Your wife loving,
and your kinfolk rich.

Squire Andy Moon
