THINGS TO SEE

There are a lot of interesting attractions to experience at the Jack Daniel's Distillery.

Here's a short list of the more interesting things to see while you’re here.

We’ll also include details about some fun things to do in Lynchburg!


Barrelhouse 1 – 14

If you choose either the Flight of Jack or Angel’s Share distillery tours, you’ll have the opportunity to see this historic barrelhouse.

Although you won’t drink anything here, it is a great chance to see where some of the best whiskey in the world comes from.


The Safe

One of the more strange aspects of the history behind this company is that Jack Daniel himself was killed by a large safe – and no, it didn’t fall on his head.

So how exactly did a safe kill the man who created such an incredible whiskey? Well, you’ll have to take the tour to find out!


Natural Spring

One of the reasons that Jack Daniel’s produces such high-quality whiskey is that they have a natural spring on the property which provides the water for their drinks.

While on the tour, you’ll have an opportunity to see this spring for yourself!


Aging Warehouse

While you might not have an opportunity to visit this site, you will at least pass by the warehouse where all of Jack Daniel’s whiskey is aged.

As you walk past the structure, you won’t be able to ignore the strong smell of delicious whiskey wafting through the air.


Heated Charcoal

As your tour guide explains the process by which Jack Daniel’s whiskey is made, you will have an opportunity to see the heated charcoal they use.

This charcoal is mellowed to produce the best flavor for the whiskey.


Bottling Plant

In addition to all the other sites included on this tour, you will also have the chance to see how Jack Daniel’s whiskey is bottled at the end of its journey.

If you feel like grabbing a bottle for yourself, you can purchase one in the gift shop!


Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding House

This is probably the most well-known restaurant in the area, and you can enjoy a meal here during the Taste of Lynchburg tour.

There is also a day trip which includes lunch at this location.

Miss Mary Bobo’s restaurant has some of the best food in Tennessee, and the service you’ll receive here is quite possibly the definition of Southern hospitality.
