The Lynchburg, Tennessee, distillery announced a partnership with World of Coffee to release Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Coffee.  On its website, Jack Daniel’s notes that the coffee will be available in an 8.8-ounce collectible tin for $21.95 and a 1.5-ounce bag for $6.95.  The coffee can only be bought at the distillery’s online store or in person at the Lynchburg Hardware & General Store in the downtown square. 

The coffee, dubbed as “100 percent Arabica,” will be ground and available in regular and decaffeinated brands.  While the coffee will be "infused" with the whiskey, the drink will be non-alcoholic. 

Jack Daniel's has produced "gourmet" coffee in 1.5-ounce bags in the past, but the venture with World of Coffee represents a more mainstream push. 

American shoppers spent a record $5 billion online in 24 hours, an increase of 16.9 percent in dollars spent on the internet from Black Friday in 2016.  Those figures were released by Adobe Digital Insights, which tracks 80 percent of online spending at the 100 largest retail websites in the United States, CNN reported. 

Amazon said Friday that orders were being placed “at record levels,” with more than 200,000 toys sold in the first five hours of the day, CNN reported.  Amazon did not provide sales figures for the entire day. 

While sales boomed online, purchases at malls and large retailers remained strong, CNN reported.  Estimates from ShopperTrak, a data analytics company that measures the number of shoppers at stores, said sales at those outlets decreased “less than 1 percent” compared to Black Friday in 2016, CNN reported. 

Adobe predicts that Cyber Monday will be even bigger than Black Friday, bringing in as much as $6 billion in digital sales, CNN reported. 

ShopperTrak was optimistic for the holiday shopping season, since there are four Saturdays in December before Christmas.  ShopperTrak added that after Black Friday, Dec. 23 and Dec. 16 -- both Saturdays -- will be the second and third busiest shopping days of the season.
