Jack __, founder of the eponymous Tennessee whiskey distillery (6)

I believe the answer is:

daniel

(Other definitions for daniel that I've seen before include "-- Barenboim, -- Boone" , "Hebrew prophet rescued from lion's den" , "Biblical prophet who survived the lion's den" , "-- Deronda (Eliot)" , "Old prophet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
