This afternoon we visited the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. It's a beautiful set of buildings housed in glorious surroundings and we had a wonderful time touring the distillery and learning about how the whiskey is passed through charcoal, tasted and tested. Jack Daniel's is the oldest registered distillery in the USA. Established in 1875. According to the guide, every drop of Jack Daniel's you've ever come across came from this small city.
During the tour, Dale and I were fortunate to be able to kick the safe that gave Jack Daniel's gangrene. Find out more in the video at the bottom of the page.
The city of Lynchburg is dry, so I bought a bottle of Single Barrel Jack Daniel's exclusive to the gift shop. Received it in a brown paper bag, which was pretty neat. We then drove into Lynchburg to check out the other souvenirs that were on sale. Incidentally, the tour was free! It was a great experience and is highly recommended!
