Review:
The Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg was established in 1866 by master distiller Jack Daniels. It was the first registered distillery in the United States. The distillery was strategically located next to the mineral waters of Cave Spring Hollow, the crucial source for the quality of whiskey as the limestone from the surrounding cliff removed iron from the water.
The distillery grew to be the best selling American whiskey in the world and more than 1.9 million barrels of whiskey are stored in dozens of barrel houses in the hilltops throughout Lynchburg, where they are ageing until they reach the required quality. Interestingly, no whiskey is available in stores in Jack Daniel's home county of Moore, which is a dry county. The distillery is today visited by millions of visitors, and the visitor center, open in 2000, contains a gift shop and memorabilia related to the history of the distillery.
