Jack Daniels Distillery - Lynchburg, TN

I visited the Jack Daniels Distillery on a Sunday which means the little town of Lynchburg was pretty much closed. I personally don't like Jack Daniels whiskey, but I can appreciate the art and science that goes into its' making. ALL the JD whiskey in the world is made here at this distillery and Lynchburg happens to be in a dry county, therefore, you can not purchase any of the product. We were only allowed to take pictures of the outside buildings.
The bar served lemonade

It's a dry county so you can only take a picture of the whiskey and it is behind a cabinet

The story of Jack Daniels and its process


It started out a simple process

Below, it gets a little more complicated




The safe that killed him. He kicked it, broke his foot, gangrene set in, he died.

His office where the safe is

Antique fire trucks

The man who started it all

The seven Master Tasters, the current is center

The cool natural spring that supplies all the water


The trees turn black due to the distilling process.

The little town of Lynchburg is still as it was a hundred years ago. A sleepy quaint little town.
