The Men Behind Jack, Jim, Johnnie, Jose

Jim Beam Straight Bourbon

Have you ever wondered who Jim Beam is named after? What about Jack Daniel’s, Jose Cuervo, Captain Morgan, Johnnie Walker and others? Wonder no more. See Mental Floss for clues on all of these real men.

I’m disappointed they didn’t include one of my favorites, Sailor Jerry, who was a famous tattoo artist and amateur rum maker.
