Jack Daniel’s Distillery Tour – Lynchburg, Tennessee

Sharing is caring!

The one thing my husband was so excited to do was to visit the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Every time we passed a sign he reminded me. So I surprised him for one of our days out. If you are visiting the Nashville area it’s defiantly worth the trip!

We packed up and made the drive from Nashville to Lynchburg. What a beautiful drive! Very little highway driving and we got to see some beautiful towns and homes!

The distillery is just outside of town and they have defiantly embraced the natural beauty around them.

Then you load up in a bus for the start of the tour. They drive you through downtown Lynchburg and point our points of interest. Then you get to see their storage locations. The first thing you see is the wood they use I lost count of the number of stacks I saw like this!

Then you can peek in and look at one of the 90+ storage plants they have around the county. WARNING: The smell is overpowering!

They drop you off at the back of the plant to start your tour and your start to learn some of the processes.

Of course, the scenery isn’t bad either
