Jack Daniel Distillery

Lynchburg is virtually synonymous with Jack Daniel, who built a distillery next to Cave Spring in the 1860's. It is the nations oldest registered distillery.

The spring water used to distill Jack Daniels Mash Whiskey

As we were unable to take pictures of the distilling process 'in action' we only have a few of the outside, but the tour was very interesting.  

They make their own barrels right here are Jack Daniel Distillery and did you know that those barrels are only used once?  

The man himself, in bronze!

This is a picture of Lynchburg's Town Square. The little town is virtually one block square, and home to quite a number of unique shops and restaurants. We had a great day visiting and thought that the 65 miles was worth the drive.

Sitting back now sipping on a Jack!! Cheers!!
