NASHVILLE, Tennessee
Jimmy Bedford, the slender and silver-haired former master distiller of the Jack Daniel's whiskey during a 40-year career with the company, died Friday. He was 69.
His body was found outside a barn at his farm in Lynchburg, apparently the victim of a heart attack, company officials said.
Bedford retired in March 2008 after spending 20 years as the master distiller supervising the entire operation at the 143-year-old distillery in Lynchburg, the oldest registered one in the United States. Among his duties was tasting the whiskey before it was sent to retailers.

Where do I send my application to fill this vacancy?
Stopped drinking Jack Daniels when they added more water to their finished product. They said they did it because their customers wanted to drink more responsibly, anyone with brains knows they did it to make more money.
Jack Daniels watered down? Try Evan Williams Black,just as good.
I quit drinking Jack Daniels, too, just last night.
Waiting for 5:00....
