And they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ready to make Jack Daniel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fix it.<br \/>As Insider explains, the mold, known as baudoinia compniacensis, or by its nickname \u00e2\u20ac\u0153whiskey fungus,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d grows thanks to the ethanol vapor given off by whiskey distilleries, or in this case, the one by Jack Daniel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s located in town.
