but it actually meant that we got to do some interesting things that you aren't able to do 50-weeks of the year, like shout into the ginormous vats in the distillery building that are typically filled with 65,000 gallons of mash, and hear the echos!ĭid you know that Jack Daniel's Distillery not only uses charcoal for 'mellowing' their whiskey - but they MAKE all of their own charcoal! We were able to see all the sugar maple wood waiting to be burned, and a time-lapsed video of the process, since they were not burning when we were touring. There are 2 weeks out of the year that the Distillery does not produce whiskey - and (at first) I was disappointed to learn that we were touring at the tail-end of that 2-week period. It was really nice that the tour was organized in a way where the walking was all down-hill. After getting our pictures taken, we boarded a shuttle bus that transported us a short distance, up a hill, to the starting point of the tour. The first stop on the tour was to visit a photographer who snapped a pic of the whole group first, then individual families/groups. This is also the time to ensure everyone has used the potty - since there are not bathrooms on the tour which lasts about one hour, ten minutes.

We were advised to arrive 30-minutes before our tour, which gave us plenty of time to get our tickets and browse a display full of Jack Daniel's history and whiskey makeing processes. but, despite the lack of tastings, the 'dry' tour did not disappoint! I do enjoy Jack Daniel's Whiskey and would have loved to taste their new Green Apple product, or some of the others I've yet to try.

To be honest, I was a little bummed by this.

We love tours, and as a Jack Daniel's drinker, I was excited about the opportunity to visit Lynchburg, Tennessee and see how the whiskey is made! The Jack Daniel's Distillery offers a variety of tours that offer taste-testing if you do attend without kids, but with kids, the 'Dry County Tour' is your only option.
