It was Kerren’s birthday, she was wearing her Queen’s glasses.
We decided to drive to Lynchburg to do the
Jack Daniels’ whisky tour because it was rainy, overcast and cold.
Lynchburg is a city in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is governed by a consolidated city0county government unit whose boundaries coincide with those of Moore County. Lynchburg is best known as the location of the Jack Daniel's distillery, whose famous whiskey is marketed world-wide as the product of a city with only one traffic light. Despite the operational distillery, Lynchburg's home county of Moore is a dry county.
About a 1.5hr drive down, stopped at Walmart
along the way to buy a couple of pre-paid visa cards. Kez had a ball doing some Halloween shopping!
I ordered Lego. We arrived at Jack’s and
were able to book on to the 2.30pm 'Tour with Tastings'.
Had time to go into the town square for lunch at the Iron kettle (where
we’d gone with Lesley and Jim on a previous visit) - great burgers and coffee. Dave M went on a 'shopping frenzy' in the Jack’s shop! Arrived for our tour with our guide, Leslie, and at the end
we were allowed 3 x 10ml tastings: Gentleman Jack’s, Jack’s No 7 and Single
Barrel. I like Gentleman Jack’s the
best!

By the time we were leaving, it was getting dark. Almost back to Nashville we were able to stop
at Cracker Barrel for dinner. Kez told
the waitress it was her birthday and a few of the staff sang a Happy Birthday
to her. She loved it!
Back at the hotel, we were treated to a fashion parade from Dave with his
Jack’s clothing and ‘Witchy Woman’ – Kerren’s Halloween outfit!
