We are fortunate to have whiskey drinking correspondents on all points of the earth. Here's an exclusive tour of the Jack Daniels distillery, museum and a few back doors by Rigid Frame Richard.

--Bandit to it as Lynchburg, Tennessee but these are the laymen that have not felt the "light".

First rule - No Matter what direction you are coming from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville or wherever. There is only one way to reach your destination. That is off highway 24. We rolled out of Nashville, and while I do not recall the highway number it is the Shelbyville exit! Shelbyville is the same exit where the walking horse competitions are held each year. There are stables around Shelbyville that make many residences look like a dumps.

The first part of the trip off off 24 is somewhat flat. After you leave Shelbyville and start down into the valley towards Lynchburg there is some very fine scenery.

The tour is unbelievable. You are taken into every building that has to do with the making of Jack Daniels. I just took last Tuesday and would enjoy it again today. There are so many things to experience and absorb, that it is hard to remember it all. It began with a group photo at the "Rickyard", where the charcoal for the "Mellowing" process comes from, unfortunately they were not burning any of the "ricks" while we were there. I was there on the 20th of August & there were 20 group photos posted on the site for just a single day.
