Every once
in a while something truly unique happens in your hometown or city. Toronto is
never an exception to that rule and this year is the proud host of the Jack
Daniel’s Barrel Christmas Tree.
Located at 544
King Street West in front of the marketing firm The Hive (who happen to share a
rich history of business with Jack Daniel’s) the barrel tree is constructed out
of Jack Daniel’s barrels that are decorated with lights, garland, ribbons and stands
approximately 20-30 feet proudly. Sorry to burst all the bubbles of Jack
Daniels fans but the barrels are empty!
Scott (@SFRealManTravels)
and I (@EdRealManTravel) were lucky enough to be invited to the tree lighting
ceremony on December 11th, 2013. At this ceremony we were introduced
to a seasonal blend from Jack Daniel’s called Winter Jack. It is a mixed blend
of apple cider liqueur (which really takes over the entire taste of the drink) Jack
Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whisky and holiday spices. The drink is best
served warm and was nice to have after standing in the cold.
While I
wasn't a fan of Winter Jack because I’m not fond of ciders, those who are will
definitely find joy in this beverage during the winter season. You can find it
at most LCBO’s across Ontario.
Many thanks
to The Hive (@The_Hive) and Jack Daniel’s (@JackDaniels_US) for inviting us out
to the lighting ceremony.
And if you
are in Toronto be sure to get a photo of that beautiful barrel tree and share
it on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #JDBarrelTree.
Happy
Holidays everyone!
