May 16 Lynchburg and Jack Daniel's Distillery






Our tour guide was a hoot!  Great story teller who made the tour very interesting.

Explaining the value of the water used in the bourbon.


The Jack Daniels office for many years
The story we were told is that this safe actually killed Jack Daniels.  He got mad one day when he couldn't open it and he kicked it.  His bruised foot never healed and eventually got infected.  He eventually died of gangrene.  If ONLY he had soaked his foot in some good Ole Jack he might have cured the infection. 


At the end of the tour we had a tasting.  Have to say....the stuff was REALLY good!



The entire facility is beautiful.  Definitely glad we took the time to drive down and take the tour.
