The Jack Daniels Holiday Barrel Tree Comes To Manila!
9:40 AM
The
holidays just got better.
Where
tradition and family, community and togetherness are already at the heart of
this time of year, in Manila we are being treated to a symbol of all these
that’s also bound to one man’s independent spirit and belief in what this
season is about.
Welcome the
Jack Daniel’s Holiday Barrel Tree! A Lynchburg Tennessee holiday tradition that
through the years has spread to the United Kingdom and Canada. This year, it is
going to be lit in Manila.
The
first of its kind in Southeast Asia, the Jack Daniel’s Holliday Barrel Tree is
more than just a symbol of the holidays that has traveled the world. It stands
for a community that has built a tradition together, this annual tradition
started by the men and women of Lynchburg.
That the
Lynchburg community would create its identity around the making of Jack
Daniel’s is no surprise. Yet the man behind it all, Jack Daniel himself was not
one to let them forget about the importance of family and togetherness, no
matter the demands of building America’s oldest registered distillery. This
could only bring the men and women of Lynchburg Tennessee to create the annual
tradition of the Holiday Barrel Tree – made from the very barrels used in
maturing Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, a symbol of their hard work and persistence,
but more importantly a reminder of the value of gathering together as community
and family.
This is
what the Holiday Barrel Tree brings to Manila, rising in two locations – in Fuente Circle in Eastwood City and at The
Fort Plaza in Bonifacio Global City. It speaks of how priceless this time
of year is, not because of the rituals of gift-giving and excess, but because we
come together for no reason other than gratefulness. It tells us that above all else, gathering
merrily with family, friends and loved ones is the reason for this season.
After all, it’s not what’s under the tree that
matters most. It’s who’s around it.
Moreover,
the event was graced by Mr. Gabriel Fernando, Jack Daniel’s Philippine Brand
Manager and Mr. Anthony Ramirez, Brown Forman Corporation Philippine Market
Manager who also iniated the lighting of the first and only Jack Daniel’s
Barrel Tree in Asia.
Meanwhile,
Up Dharma Down performed before the ceremony began.
Gather Merrily.
