On March 31st, Jimmy Bedford retired as Master Distiller of Jack Daniels. Bedford worked for the distillery for 40 years (20 as Master Distiller). The man attempting to fill his shoes is Tennessee native Jeff Arnett. Arnett has been with Jack Daniel's since 2001. He is only the seventh Master Distiller in the 142-year history of the distillery. Congrats to Jeff and thanks to Jimmy for a job well done.
