Lonely Planet Experiences: Private Excursion to Jack Daniels Distillery

Duration

clock7 hours 30 minutes

Overview

    Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton Daniel as America’s first registered distillery, Jack Daniel’s earned a gold medal at the 1904 World Fair. Today his recipe is unchanged by time, fad or fashion, remaining as authentic as it was a century-and-a-half ago and becoming the world’s biggest-selling American whiskey. 
    This excursion to the Jack Daniels Distillery will take you on the Angel’s Share Distillery Experience through the production process, from charcoal-making at 2,000 degrees F and mellowing the honey-colour elixir to using handmade barrels to give the whiskey smoothness and complex notes. With the air thick with sour mash, learn how the colourless liquid is poured into barrels to emerge as the amber-hued taste of Tennessee. Soak up the stories and become immersed in the fascinating history of “JD”. Discover how state-wide prohibition in 1910 threatened production and what it is like to produce whiskey in a dry state.
