Lynchburg, Tennessee

10/9/14
We rented a car and drove to Lynchburg, Tennessee to take a tour of the Jack Daniel's Distillery. We drove on back country roads through several small towns and drove by massive fields of cotton. On the Jack Daniel's Tour we were able to taste test 3 different selections, Old # 7, Gentleman Jack, and Single Barrel Jack. We both decided we like the original # 7 the best.

The Rickyard is where they make the wood charcoal that the bourbon is filtered through to turn it into Tennessee whiskey.

The Jack Daniel Distillery is very important
