From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yesterday in hedonistic alcohol news we brought you Austin Beerworks' 99-pack of beer, but today Jack Daniel's has topped it, announcing that it will offer whiskey fans the opportunity to buy an entire barrel of the stuff.
Equivalent to between 240 and 260 bottles of its Single Barrel brand, the barrel is priced at around £13,500 (depending on the yield) and is delivered sanded, varnished and personalised.
Investors will receive an experience "curated solely for them", including a one-on-one tasting of different barrels so you can find the perfect whiskey – which will be unlike any other in the world.
It's a hefty price tag, but the world is running out of whiskey after all.
Any connoisseurs who do find 13 grand lying around to spend entirely on whiskey will be honoured with a plaque that sits proudly on the Wall of Fame in the Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Jack Daniel's celebrates its bond with Frank Sinatra, a keen JD drinker, later this month, with a cocktail at Selfridge's, a punch at The London Edition hotel and a free whiskey on the rocks for guests at The Savoy all made using its special edition Sinatra Select whiskey.
