Jack Daniel's Distillery Tour

[ConfederateTyrant]

For those of you that ever get a chance to go to Lynchburg, Tennessee, I strongly recommend you take an hour or so out of your life and go to the Jack Daniel's Distillery. It's very interesting and educational, but don't expect any tastings, it's a dry area (of all f***ing places).

I believe the tour was free, as the mother-in-law didn't b**** about spending any money, plus she said the lady at the front desk didn't ask for any money.

So again, if you can go, do it, if you're interested in history and don't consider alcohol to be "evil," then you'll most likely enjoy it.

Forgot to add, since they don't offer a tasting, they do let you smell the charcoal mellowing barrell/vat/whatever, which clears your sinuses quite well. That was better than tasting.

Cool!

I love distillery/brewery tours. My wife and I took the Wild Turkey tour during our last car-club meet. Very thorough and informative, but they don't offer tastings, either. They DO let you try a drop or two of the "moonshine" that all bourbon starts out as, but not the finished product.

I've been on a tour of the Bacardi plant in the Bahamas. They let you have some of the stuff but I believe only if you buy it from their little stand where they sell the drinks. It was a while ago though, about 5-6 years ago, so my memory's a bit hazy.

The worst part about it was that after the tour, they give you some lemonade. Makes you get a major craving for a whiskey sour.
