Exclusive Jack Daniels Tour
A Bit About The Lynchburg Distillery
(Continued)

By Rigid Frame Richard

Jack Daniels is a blend of different barrels, however they will come across barrels from time to time that the flavor is so rich as well as the color that it will sold under "Single Barrel" label. If you would like, you can purchase an entire barrel of "Single Barrel" Jack Daniels. It will cost around $9000 depending on your state fees & taxes. Apparently Washington DC has the best rates for this. Imagine that.

You can actually return to Lynchburg and choose your barrel from 4 candidates. This is the ONLY time you can have a drink at the distillery since it is a dry county. At that time it will be bottled (about 240) with a limited medallion with your name placed on each bottle. They are then boxed, stacked on a pallet, along with the empty barrel you choose. Which now has a brass plate on top with your name and the dates purchased and Jimmy Bedford signs the barrel. Then your name is placed on a wall along many others, such as George Strait & Arthur Anderson or someone who worked there. No wonder they can't count. Then it is shipped to your house, what could be better in life, except a sweet honey refilling your glass.

JD

Every barrel of Jack is aged four years in the "Barrel Houses" the one on site is only four stories tall. Many others exist around Lynchburg which are seven stories tall. No one batch of whiskey is kept in the same barrelhouse due to the fact that if there was some thing bad was to happen they don't want to lose the entire lot.
