Tennessee | Jack Daniel's Distillery Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- While in the Nashville area, we decided to take a tour of the Jack Daniel's Distillery which is located 75 miles south in the small town of Lynchburg.
Jack Daniel's is the number one selling brand of whiskey in the world and it is not to be mistaken with the bourbon whiskey's that come from some of the northern states. Jack Daniel's is a sour mash whiskey, and is only made at the Lynchburg site - with 2016 being the 150th Anniversary.
There are a few different tours on offer, one of which is a 'tea-total' option which does not include any sampling. We chose the Angel's Share tour as it appeared to be the most comprehensive and on a personal level involved sampling products that I have not tried before.
The tour itself takes you around all areas of the distillery, though incase you are wondering why some areas are missed off the video (Still house, charcoal mellowing areas, certain areas of the barrell house) its because there is a very strict no photography policy enforced. The tour was excellent and our guide, Brian was very knowledgeable on all things Jack!
Ironically the distillery and Lynchburg is located in a Dry Country (Moore County) i.e. ''No Alcohol for Sale', this dates back to the prohibition era. The only place you can purchase the different Jack Daniel's products is within the White Rabbit Saloon which was formerly located within the town square of Lynchburg, but is now the store within the Jack Daniel's visitor center. This is the only place in Lynchburg where Jack Daniels (alcoholic) products can be purchased. The general store within Lynchburg itself sells cakes, coffee and other items which are made with Jack Daniels, but these products are not branded as Jack Daniels and contain a very low (if any) alcohol content - because its a dry county!
If you appreciate Jack Daniel's then the distillery is worth a visit!
best to watch this video when you are drinking jack d old number 7

Single Barrel & Silver Select 👍👍
That's what I got. Sour mash
Agreed. Shame they joined the woke agenda recently,
Not a whiskey drinker myself per se, but would absolutely love to do this tour! Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for filming this. Was great to see. I'm surprised this doesn't have more views!
Very good. I did the tour when I was in my 20s. Was AWESOME. I used to drink Jack. I don't anymore, but watching this makes me think I should buy a bottle, and remind myself what it tasted like.
love your Product and the tour is amazing, thanks for filming this
I’m just enjoying some Jack D right now. :)
Thank you for sharing, this makes my day.
Great video about the greatest drink around 🥃
Thank you for such a great video! I love historical tours and having just recently gotten into whiskey, I had just bought my first ever bottle of JD Old No.7. I definitely want to take the tour myself someday. Thank you again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
awesome tour
Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for sharing this. I'm gonna have to take that tour myself someday.
I took the tour about a month ago. Very interesting. A couple of things of interest- the visitors center doesn't sell the usual assortment of souvenirs- glasses, coffee cups, t-shirts etc. but they do sell bottles of Jack Daniels various whiskey's.
I doubt it because it's a dry county
I thought that before I visited. They have a store which sells the whiskey, but when I visited it was placed in a sealed bag at the counter. In Lynchburg, you can buy products which have Jack Daniels in the ingredients (Cake etc) but not the bottles of JD themselves!
After the tour, if you go into Lynchburg, which is like a block or two down the street to the square, there you can find the souvenir shops such as tshirts, shot glasses etc. Very cool shops.
Tyler correct.
Anyhow the hardware store in Lynchburg (a short walk down the street) is JD owned souvenir shop.
The other shops in town also sell JD gear, JD flavored foods and coffees.
However I suggest visiting The Lynchburg Winery and Distillery as well. I did tastings there and ended up walking out of there with Wines, Whiskeys, moonshines, and other stuff.
Went back last weekend to grab a bottle of Tennessee Gold #27. It’s cheaper at JD then anywhere else in Tn. $100 at JD compared to $175-250 anywhere else I looked.
@@Justin-dy2ib Thanks for the information.
3 questions
#1: Can you drink jack daniels while on the tour?
#2: Do you get to same Jack Daniels on the tour?
#3:Is there a giant Whiskey fountain at the end of the tour?
Tour is quite different since my visit with a friend from SoCal where I grew up back in 1981 - Everything was much less structured and organized - We were able to tour through various buildings and specific distilling areas covering the entire "making" process throughout its cycle, which doesn't seem to be part of the more commercialized tour today - Cool memories from the best decade ever... \m/
Great video! I could even understand the host taking everyone around, since I’m from Alabama
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Film!... from the map to country side to the actual tour. Music is great too! Thanks! Am doing this exact tour in October. Really looking forward to going
Been there too many Times!
I know the tour guide was talking fast but at the sugar maple site he said “two cords make a rick”. That’s backwards, 2 (or 3) ricks make a cord depending on how long the wood is cut. 24” pieces will make a cord with only 2 ricks while 18” pieces will take 3 ricks to make a cord. A rick measures 8’ long by 4’ high by whatever length the wood is cut. A cord measures 4’ x 4’ x 8’ or 128 square feet. To make the 4’ width you can have two 24” stacks or three 18” stacks.
I 💗JACK
Wow now it feels like I’m drinking history :)
Sure is a different tour than the one I went on in 1976.
I don’t doubt it! I’m sure the product is still the same now as it was in 1976 - albeit with a few more blends available!
Was Jack Daniel really left handed? I have a brother got the idea that lefties were cursed. Seems that Jack was blessed.
It’s funny, I never heard him speak about Nathan Green. Without Mr. Green there would never had been Jack Daniels Whiskey.
The wood is made right here in Blue Ridge, Georgia on the side of HWY 515!
You can't really nose the whiskey with those glasses shown in the end of the video...
I hope you had a nice day there :) Would like to go there, too.
It's great that they made Nearis Green a master distiller.
And I'm very proud to say that nearest Green is my great-grandfather
at 21:12 theres a girl hugging jack thru the window..lol
The strange thing is that Lynchburg is considerd a "dry" county, it means you can't drink alcohol there.
you cant buy on sundays
You can manufacture it and drink it, provided you buy it elsewhere, but you can't buy it by the drink, ie no liquor stores, no bars, and no restaurant service.
Brian was our guide as well, he is awesome
How much does it cost for such a tour?
where did you book your tour...and what was the name of it...because so many of them are listed..but looking for one with transportation and we would like to try some drinks
At the time I booked it through the Jack Daniels distillery website. We did the "Angels Share" tour; this was back in 2016.
Uncle Nearest was huge
!!!
Would be a Marine giving the tour of a distillery lol
I met there it had some good lemonade lol
The tour guide looks like actor, Vincent D' Onofrio.
Was there today. Cant believe they’re making that shit in a county that you can’t purchase it at
Why does the tour guide remind me of Jason Aldean? lol
Who else paused and went to get a glass of Jack before watching again?
Song name please
Jack Daniels by Eric Church
Thanks for the video :) .. My question is WHY is it so so SO legal to produce and sell alcohol WORLDWIDE, yet it is not legal to sell Marijuana? i know its all Politics and MONEY but like Weed is legal in California here for example but it ain't in Tennessee ...Hm
Not really the place to discuss this. But times are changing. Won't be long before weed is legal everywhere.

It was real cool we enjoyed it a lot
what tour did you do??
It was “The Angels Share” tour; I’d recommend it as it includes the whiskey tasting experience at the end of the tour.
I have seen two tours one in this barrel house and one in like a normal room with this tour do you do both??
The Angels Share tour took us to ‘a’ barrel house, whereby we were led to a tasting room and given guidance on how the different blends should be tasted etc. I’m not sure whether any other tours take you to a different barrel house or whether you spend more time there? Not sure. I found the tour I went on seemed to cover everything in a good level of detail, though there were some other more specific tours available at the time (sept 2015) but I just wanted a good overview.
I guess that tour guy want everyone to be alcoholic by the end of the day . If he achieve his goal 🥅 then he will get extra $$$ from his company.
Only a jack ass would say such a thing
did anyone notice he said he didn't have any children then said he passed the business down to his sons
Jack passed the business down to his nephews and his nephew passed the business down to his 4 Vanderbilt educated sons.
They don't know where their water comes from? That's odd...
Most spring water runs underground for so long finding the head source is impossible. It can honestly take years, if not centuries from the time it seeped into the ground til it comes out the other end. The good thing is the natural pressure, minerals, and limestone filtration it gets will make it the absolute cleanest, best tasting water you can get.
@Micheal Smith 😆
Cool video. Unfortunately JD is nasty. Needs Coke.
Yes. Those who need Coke to cut their Jack just want the buzz. Whisky drinkers love the flavor. And Jack is one of thee most underrated whiskys. Excellent product.
Wow
Hey, don't hate on the Coke and Jack. Some people like the taste.
Coke is nasty. A little Jack makes it tolerable.
