    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    We loved our tour at the Jack Daniel's Distillery! The grounds were beautiful, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and we were able to walk through several of areas of production (not just look from afar). I don't drink, but the tasting was very diverse and the guide made it good natured and fun. Even if you are not a whiskey lover, this is an awesome tour that shares the deep history, culture, and production of Tennessee whiskey. Would definitely do again!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Our tour: All About the Barrel Experience
    Capitán D.

    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.

    Frozen cocktails: Jack and Coke & Lynchburg Lemonade
    Nina Z.

    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.

    This was the best distillery tour I've done. The grounds are beautiful. Morgan,our guide, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. And who knew they make blackberry whisky?

    Has anyone taken multiple different tours? If so do they cover a lot of the same areas with different tastings at the end or do they mostly cover different areas of the distillery?

    The tours are essentially the same. The only difference is the dry, standard, or premium tastings at the end. When I say essentially the same the differences are based on your docent.

    How long is this tour?could a trip to the distillery be considered an all day activity?

    We got there at 10 with no reservation. We got in to the 11 o'clock tour. We did the dry tour because my 16 year old was with us. Ate lunch in Lynchburg at 12:30pm. Checked out the general store. We had a bottle engraved which takes an hour. If your… Read more

    Does the tour cost?

    Yes

    Why doesn't it mention tour is not handicapped accessible ? In a wheelchair is tour not possible?

    Based on my experience I believe they will accommodate. .

    Can we go on a tour with kids of course only adults will be tasting anything? Thank you all so much for answering!

    Under 21 are only allowed on the dry county tour which does not included and tastings.

    Is the tour pet friendly? Driving thru the area and want to stop but have dogs

    No, you go in and out of warehouse type buildings. Lots of stairs and confined areas with groups of about 20 people. Not fair to the dogs or the other group members.

    What's the name of the lemonade you can get at the end of the tour in the tasting room?

    Minute Maid, lol.

    Does the "Angel Share" Tour give you a sampling of the 5 basic samples plus the 3 premium samples or just the 3 premium samples?

    Angel share is the premiums. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof, Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye & Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select and Gold 27. If you want to do this tour book way in advance it sells out fast.

    Where do you find the group photo that they take in beginning of the tour?

    At the end of the tour.

    Is required to make a reservation for the tour?

    No, you can walk up and if there is availability, you can jump in on any tour. If you're in a large group, I would call ahead.

    I just happened to see an ad for Guajana Rum while attending a Trash Panda's Game at Toyota Field,…read moreand I'm SO happy I did! I am a great lover of Rum... so much that I've built a Tiki Bar in my home and I have easily over 50 rums. So finding out there was a Rum Distillery just a short drive away, I had to go! It was an absolutely wonderful experience. My wife had a Rum Old Fashioned followed by a Rum Manhattan (first time either of us had tried a Manhattan with Rum.... AMAZING), while I had a tasting flight followed by a Last Word Cocktail. Everything was FANTASTIC. I HIGHLY recommend doing a tasting flight of all of their offerings. First, the vodka (Sagrav 80) was just wonderful, but still had the wonderful taste of sugar from the molasses it was made from. Each of the Rums were so flavorful, my favorites were the 86 and the 106, but the 89 and 108 were also amazing. Finally, the Gin (Guajana 80) was very surprising! Again, the wonderful sweetness from the Molasses comes out, and just wonderfully compliments the juniper, citrus peel, and other infusions that make up the Gin. If the drinks and the liquor are not wonderful enough for you (they were for me ), the hospitality of Luis and his wife will make you feel at home. From the moment we walked in they made us feel like family and took the time to explain the unique details of each of their offerings to make sure we found exactly what we wanted. I loved the experience so much I took one bottle of everything they offered home with me, and I look forward to coming back often to get more... as I'm sure to quickly run out at home! I HIGHLY recommend making a visit, you will not be disappointed!
