If you have some time, seriously consider the Day at Jack tour. An all-day, immersive experience into the town of Lynchburg, its history and, of course, an in-depth look at the operation of the Jack Daniel's distillery. My wife and I just finished this tour and would recommend it without hesitation. Our day started at 10:35, when we met our tour guide, Justin, and the small group we'd be spending the day with. After a brief introduction and a quick photo, we boarded a shuttle bus and got a quick look at some historical Lynchburg landmarks. Then we enjoyed lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Restaurant. It was family-style, southern fare, and simply outstanding. We walked through town to the distillery and enjoyed a fun, fascinating, super informative tour of how Jack is made, stored, bottled, the whole thing. This tour is the one opportunity for visitors to see the inside of one of the barrel storage facilities. The day ended with a tasting session, where we explored some of the finer points of a selection of Jack Daniel's whiskeys and their individual qualities and personalities. Plus everyone received a gift bag with a framed version of the photo taken earlier in the day, some chocolates, and a bottle of Miss Mary Bobo's Hot Sauce (which I had earlier on fried Okra and it was tremendous!). It was nearly 4 p.m. by the time we were done. So I meant when I said "if you have some time." And it costs a little more. But worth every penny and every minute of time. Extra shoutout to Justin who was knowledgeable and engaging and an all around good dude. read more

If you're visiting Nashville and have the time, Jack Daniel's Distillery is a must see! Keep in mind though it's a 1.5 hour drive from downtown Nashville. For us, the experience was well worth the drive. Our tour guide was excellent! (I wish I remembered his name!) He made the experience fun and engaging and I loved his southern accent! For someone like myself that doesn't drink whiskey, I was intrigued of the hard work and pride behind their brand. read more

Jack Daniel's Distillery: in Lynchburg, TN. Of all the wine /bourbon etc tours that I've done, this is the best tour ever. Our guide seemed to absolutely enjoy his job and was very informative and funny. Whiskey making is sure complex, land to know the Jack Daniel's barrel is reused by Scotch whiskey etc. Correctly drinking whisky involves first swirling it and smelling it. Then pour it to mouth with head backwards, then bend neck towards, dip tongue in whiskey (which is oils be near tip of tongue now, thanks to gravity) while counting 1001,1002; then straighten so whiskey coats rest of tongue tip to backwards. Feel the burn and smoothness and different flavors. We took the 55 dollar tour which came with a complimentary glass. We also engraved in a bottle; one for us and other for my brother. read more

Loved, loved, loved this tour. Such a piece of history tucked deep in the countryside of Tennessee. Everything from the check in experience, tour, tour guide and tasting was fantastic. We booked our tickets online and arrived early to check in. The staff at the check in was super quick and efficient. After a short wait we were connected with our tour guide who knew the area and the plant like the back of his hand. Like many employees at the distillery, he was third of fourth generation to work at the distillery in some fashion. The tour was great and we learned so much about the history and how Jack Daniels came about. We bought the tasting experience and was able to sit and learn about the different products and taste five or six different Jack Daniel whiskeys. After we were shown to the gift shop to buy what we tasted or other merch. The tour lasted about 45 minutes. We had out 16yo with us so it is kid friendly (not that they care about the tours at that age). Great tour and well worth the trip. read more

A must do! Such a fun tour! I'm so grateful they were able to accommodate kids, because traveling with mine and wanting to experience this tour could have been tricky otherwise, it made the whole experience so much easier and enjoyable for our family. The tour itself had a great balance of everything: a bit of history, insight into the process of making the alcohol, plenty of humor, and lots of walking to keep things interesting. The guides did a wonderful job of keeping it engaging from start to finish, and it all wrapped up with a tasting at the end. What I especially appreciated was learning about the process behind making whiskey. It gave me a whole new respect for the craft, it's such a detailed and thoughtful process. Funny enough, I don't normally drink whiskey, but after this experience, I just might start because of how much care goes into making it! Overall, such a unique and memorable experience, I'd definitely recommend it! read more

I was born & raised in Middle TN and had always heard of this place. Today I finally got to go visit it. Not only is it a very cool history lesson, but you get to see how the best whiskey in the world is made. There are samples at the end as well. We had the sweetest little host as well named Hannah who was very knowledgeable and sweet. She made the tour fun. To my surprise, she said she had inly been a guide for 3 months. I would've figured she had been working there 10 years because she seemed like a natural. read more

The Jack Daniel Distillery - Barrel house - Distilleries Near Me - Lynchburg, Tennessee

First time in Nashville and we carved out a day for this tour. About an hour and a half away by car. The road trip is very scenic taking you through beautiful farm lands. The distillery is on beautifully manicured grounds. You will learn everything there is to know about Jack Daniel, his life , family, and passion for the perfect whiskey. There a fun tasting at the end of the tour where you try original Ole no. 7 as well as new products. Overall a very pleasant and entertaining experience. Walking distance is the old hardware store and market square. A beautiful taste of Americana. Get the frozen drinks at the start of the tour they are fantastic. read more

Our guide was amazing for the tour. She answered so many questions and had so much knowledge. It was so beautiful there too. So much to see. Getting to see all the kegs. Getting to taste all the different ones together helped to taste the major differences. Really enjoyed the hot chocolate they served there during the winter time. Overall would recommend. read more

You don't have to be a fan of JD or even a whiskey drinker to enjoy this tour. In fact, kids can come on the tour but cannot, of course, partake in the whiskey sampling near the end. Personally, I think kids might be a little bored on the tour, depending on their age. I wouldn't personally bring them. The drive to Lynchburg from downtown Nashville takes a good 90 minutes. Lynchburg itself is tiny but absolutely gorgeous. It's incredibly green and lush. The grounds of the distillery are also beautiful. It was definitely not what I expected and I mean that in the best way. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. You walk through the entire facility, from building to building. The aromas of the fermentation and other aspects of the manufacturing process are amazing although very hard to describe. It's like a grainy, corny aroma. It's akin to being in a room filled with barrels at a winery, although the aroma is different. At the end of the tour, you get six samples of different iterations of JD (Old No. 7, Single Barrell, Fire, etc.). It's not a lot of juice in total but it's enough for sampling purposes and hopefully not enough to get a drunk driving ticket. You can also purchase bottles of Jack in their "bottle shop." Apparently, as long as you don't call it a liquor store, you can sell Jack in this "dry" county. Make reservations in advance. It's a very worthwhile tour. read more

Not my first visit to Jack Daniel Distillery but still such a fun place to tour. This is the stuff of legends and you get to walk about the grounds, sniff the whiskey and see how it's all made. I think my favorite part is seeing the little spring that supplies all the water (and has supplied ALL the water) for every bottle of Jack Daniels ever produced and sold around the world! That's just amazing. Of course there is a tasting at the end which is fun to compare the various products and a "bottle" shop if you want to bring home a special bottle from Lynchburg (that might be filled with something... wink wink) Definitely worth the trip and the town is fun to wander around also read more

Pros Ran on time Buildings are air conditioned Informative and funny Staff are super friendly Get to see stuff you wouldn't otherwise ever see Rich in history Really good communication before the tour Cons Lots of stairs Lots of walking Hot as balls You first show up and they ask you get there 30 minutes early. For us, there was no reason. We ended up waiting around for 30 minutes but it wasn't a deal breaker. We checked in and got our tickets and were able to pay $10 to be able to have a jack slushie drink on the walking tour (lemonade or coke). Once the tour starts it's pretty smooth and constant. A bus drops you off at the top of a hill and off you go. Our tour guide Kayla was awesome. She was super cute and funny and kept the tour on track and managed to deal with a hunch of different types of personalities and groups. I also should have asked her what type of setting spray she used but her makeup didn't budge and she didn't break a sweat! We got to see where the magic is made and all of the steps through the process. We got little history lessons sprinkled throughout the tour on top of fun facts and info on exactly how jack Daniel's is made and what the difference is between each type. It concluded with a tasting flight of six types of jack Daniel's (enough to stay under the legal limit). It was again fun and informational and I tried some versions I had never tried and even learned of a new flavor coming out later this summer. After the tour was over we went to their "bottle shop" and purchased a bottle and got it engraved which was a great souvenir. You can then walk (5 minutes) or take the tram over to Lynchburg and check out their town and general store where they sell JD merch. The merch itself isn't that great but you can maybe find something for a souvenir! All in all totally worth the trip and the money and would recommend. read more

Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg has offered a wide variety of tours over the decades, each to give visitors a deeper look at its Tennessee whiskey-making traditions. Earlier offerings included the Dry County Tour, a history-focused walk without tastings, and the Flight of Jack Tour, which added a sampler of their signature Tennessee whiskey lineup. For visitors wanting something more elevated, the Angel's Share Tour showcased premium pours and richer single-barrel selections. Hybrid experiences such as Taste of Lynchburg paired a distillery tour with a family-style lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House (which is owned/operated by Jack Daniel's Distillery technically under its parent company Brown‑Forman Corporation). A similar option, A Day at the Jack, continues today and includes both the distillery experience and lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's. Last year (2024), Jack Daniel's modernized and streamlined its tour program. The older tours were retired and replaced with a refined lineup: the Jack Daniel Distillery Tour, the Innovation Tasting, and the more technical Bonded Tour. Each of these focuses more clearly on specific aspects of whiskey making and offered a more premium tasting experience. This shift reflects growing interest from visitors who want deeper insight into limited releases, aging techniques, and the nuances behind Jack Daniel's most sought-after expressions. All of that evolution leads perfectly into their newest and most immersive offering: the All About the Barrel Experience, which we chose. Our tour guide, Jacob, was exceptional -- the ideal combination of funny, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. He made the history feel alive, broke down technical details in an accessible way, and kept the entire group connected and entertained. His energy and sense of humor genuinely elevated the entire tour. The experience concluded with a five-pour guided tasting: three Jack Daniel's Single Barrel selections and two Jack Daniel's rye expressions. The lineup provided an excellent contrast between the bold, high-impact character of top-tier single barrels and the spicy, aromatic complexity of Jack Daniel's rye. In case anyone from the corporation reads these we would suggest adding No. 7 to the tasting so guests can directly compare the flagship whiskey with the premium Single Barrel expressions. One of the most fascinating parts of the tour -- and something Jacob explained perfectly -- was the uniqueness of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. These barrels come only from the top 1% of all barrels produced, drawn exclusively from the highest floors of the barrel houses typically the top floor which experience the most intense heat and temperature fluctuation, which leads to: higher proofs; lower yields from increased evaporation ("angel's share"); richer color and deeper oak extraction; more concentrated, robust flavor and greater variation from one barrel to the next. It is our understanding that Jack Daniel's has steadily refined its visitor experience over the years, moving from simple walk-through tours to thoughtfully curated programs that highlight the skill and nuance behind its craft. The All About the Barrel Experience was immersive, informative, and built for visitors who genuinely want to understand what makes Jack Daniel's whiskey unique. I am not much of a Jack drinker but with Jacob leading the way (for ten years), the tour was not only educational but genuinely entertaining. For great storytelling, deep whiskey knowledge, and the chance to taste some of the most select barrels Jack Daniel's produces, this experience is absolutely worth it. read more

Jack Daniel's was my first whisky. This is a must do when I'm in town. After putting about 200 bottles of Jack Daniels over the years, I finally get to know where and how the bottles are made. The tour guide is cool and knowledgeable, makes the tour experience even more fun and enjoyable. The cave spring water and the 10ft tall filter tower are the highlights of the tour. And of course, the whiskey tasting at the end gives a great and remarkable ending to the tour. read more

This place is quite far but it is totally worth the drive. My husband and I did the bourbon and whiskey trail and this was our last stop. And we couldn't have ended it at a more beautiful distillery. A fun place with delicious frozen cocktails and tiny tastings (which yes is odd but apparently the county this distillery is in is still dry since prohibition). I wish this wasn't in a dry county because it'd be so lovely to have lunch with more drinks or even large events like wedding and such. Everyone is so nice and it's a wonderful experience which could totally be more. read more

This was such a neat Tour and place to visit. We had BOB give us the Tour and it was hands down the best from start to finish. He had such a great sense of humor and very knowledgeable in this field and appreciated that cause I came in not knowing a thing. The Distillery is Huge so there is alot of walking and stairs so wear comfy shoes and there will be some funky smells and points where it gets hot but it's part of the tour. Also if you need to use the bathroom before do that cause there are no bathrooms while on the tour. Love the touch on being able to get a Jack Daniel's Slushy I urge you to get this it's so delicious. The history is just so great and makes you appreciate the hard work that goes in mass producing this and sent all over the globe. The tasting part was so much fun and Bob made it fun and enjoyable and explained everything we were sampling and loved that the tasting room is Air conditioned so you are very comfy in there. We had a fun group so that made it more enjoyable. I definitely recommend this tour to everyone even if you aren't into Whiskey you will come out with a whole new appreciation I promise. Their shop they had was neat and you can purchase bottles there there were 2 that you can engrave as well and that's a neat touch if you are celebrating B-day, anniversary or retirement you can give someone a cool gift. It took like 30 min and it's such a neat souvenir. Such a fun vibe don't miss out! read more

This spot has been on Bf's bucket list for, literally, decades so I'm so glad we made time to go during our Tennessee vacation. Less than two hours from downtown Nashville, and with plenty of yummy Southern eateries nearby, the Distillery offers an impressive museum, tour and tasting combo. Now, I've never been much of a whiskey fan, but seeing how delighted BF was to be there made it worth the trip from the get go. I enjoyed walking around the premises during the tour, especially getting to see the cave that produces JD's special spring water. I also liked the lemon whiskey slushee that we were offered at the beginning of the tour, which helped beat the mild heat and tide us over until the flight Tasting at the very end. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that I actually found a whiskey to my liking during the tasting - Tennessee Fire gets the Gold (passed most of my other shot glasses off to BF after a tiny sip--truly a Win-Win hehe)! read more

When in Tennessee, you go to Graceland. When you have taste, you go to Jack. So we made our pilgrimage to the Jack Daniel's Distillery in the charming (and paradoxical) Lynchburg--aka the driest county where the wettest things happen. First of all, fun fact: you can't legally buy a drink here, but you can buy a commemorative bottle of liquor... and they just happen to pour some "free samples" inside. Nothing suspicious--just a bottle-shaped souvenir with benefits. It was pouring rain when we arrived, but honestly, it set the mood: dark, dramatic, and slightly damp--just like a good whiskey barrel. We took the "Innovation Tasting Tour," which is basically history class with a buzz. You learn everything from the charcoal mellowing process to the saga of Mr. Jack's mysteriously lethal toe injury (true story, Google it). Then came the tasting: we sampled several experimental Jack Daniels varieties that may never see the shelves but definitely saw my liver. The staff? Delightful. Southern hospitality with a side of science. They clearly love what they do, and I now know more about whiskey than I ever knew about algebra. Final verdict: If you're a fan of history, irony, or just want to sip whiskey in the middle of a rainstorm in a place that legally can't sell it to you, this is your spot. read more

They have a great tour of the grounds and process along with a tasting flight and you can get a cocktail in the beginning for an extra $10. The service is great, all are very nice, from the ticket agent, the tour guide, and all the staff around the property. The property is very beautiful with colorful and lush full plants all around. The water source and streams give areas of refreshing coolness during the heat. I have a new outlook on Jack Daniel's. Great quality and organically made. They make all their own barrels, charcoal, pull water from a natural underground spring, etc. Nicely done Mr. DANIEL'S. read more

We came here for the tour. They do take walk-ins based on availability. When we arrived, the next available tour was about an hour later. We decided to get one two hours later and, in the meantime, headed to another distillery nearby and also grabbed some lunch near by. The tour is about 90 minutes long, including tasting. Our tour guide was amazing and kept the tour engaging. At no point did it feel boring. The distillery is pretty amazing, and the tour is a good way to learn about its history and also the nuances of whiskey making.  As for the tasting, you get to try 6 different types of Jack Daniel's blend. I am not much of a whiskey person but did enjoy a couple of blends and thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. If you are in the area, this is a must visit. read more

We did the ADA accessibility tour. It was nice that there was an alternative to provide something for its other visitors however I do believe there is room for constructive improvement. They offered flatter walkways and a vehicle to cut down on walking some of the grounds. No stairs in this tour so you do miss out on quiet a bit or almost all of the inside tour which is a bummer. Understandable because it is not accessible, however it would be nice if they could provide a viewing area to show some of what one might see in the walking tour in a video accessible area as the ADA tour is a much shorter duration than the regular walking/stairs tour. Id love to see JD be and provide more accessibility to its other patrons and I think a video tour might be a great addition. read more

JD Distillery is about a 1.5 hr drive from Nashville. We decided to visit as part of a tour from Viator. Bus ride was comfortable (cushy seats & air conditioned). Note: if you're on a bus tour, be sure to meet your bus at the departure time to head back to Nashville. There is no direct Uber/Lyft services, but there is a local guy who will charge you $350 to drive you back! Pretty cool tour that talks about the history and how they make JD whiskey from start to finish. It lasts about 2 hrs - wear comfortable walking shoes as it is about a mile or more (walking up/downhill and up/downstairs) in total. At the end of the tour, we got to taste (5) different JD varieties (my favorite was the blackberry which was sold out in the gift shop). Visit the small town (5 min walk over the bridge that connect the distillery to the town) to grab a bite to eat (high recommend Miss Mary Bobo's restaurant- make a reservation in advance!) and check out the cute little shops (as if you went back in time to Mayberry!)! read more

As someone who does not personally drink, I can not speak on the behalf of the whiskey tasting, but this place is definitely worth the visit! I came with some family and did the tour, we had a wonderful tour guide named Christy and she explained everything so well! Our entire party enjoyed the tour, they did enjoy the tastings, and enjoyed learning the history of the JD distillery! This place is beautiful, picturesque, very well kept and clean, has friendly staff, and this is an awesome place to visit! This is definitely an adult tour type of place, would not recommend bringing young ones on the tour, but the grounds itself is child friendly overall.
