Jack Daniel's Distillery

5 Destination Tennessee Distilleries

"From Sinatra and the Stones to Slash and Springsteen, the most famous Tennessee whiskey brand in the world needs no introduction. Jack Daniel’s home of Lynchburg, Tennessee, (population: 6,000) is a soft start to the distillery experience, with small-town Southern hospitality and the company’s family-style Miss Mary Bobo's Restaurant off the square. Tours of the property itself, which dates back to 1875, allow for sipping and gawking at a century and a half of memorabilia. Surrounding Moore County may be dry, but Daniel’s has a special dispensation to sell from its White Rabbit Bottle Shop." - Jon Gugala

"The charming little town of Lynchburg is home to Jack Daniel, the most famous distillery in all of Tennessee . Take a quick stroll around the town square before crossing a short bridge, which will lead you over a creek that flows from the same spring that provides fresh water for Jack Daniel’s delicious whiskey. Upon arrival at the distillery, you’ll find a modern visitor center where you can learn about the history of Jack Daniel’s as well as the process of making Tennessee whiskey, including the extra step of charcoal mellowing that differentiates it from bourbon. It’s remarkable to consider that every drop of Jack Daniel’s served at bars all over the world comes from this lovely hamlet down in the hollow—in fact, visitors are likely to see delivery trucks carrying pallets of bottles back up the hills to parts unknown. Should you want to dive deeper into the whiskey-making process, take a guided tour through the various stages of production, beginning at the source of the springwater and continuing through distillation and finally the rickhouses, where the whiskey ages for years in oak barrels until it’s ready for bottling."
