A visit to the distillery highlights Tennessee's history and late settler culture. Jack Daniel’s Distillery tour options include the Angel’s Share Distillery Tour (which includes single-barrel whiskey tastings) and combo tours that cover the distillery and town of Lynchburg.
Other tasting options include the classic tasting tour—which includes a flight of five whiskeys—and the Mr. Jack Toast in the Hollow Tour, a quick driving tour of Lynchburg followed by a whiskey toast. If you don’t want to drink, take the Dry County tour, which still provides information about the distillery’s history and production process, but doesn’t serve alcohol. To avoid the need for a designated driver, book a tour from Nashville that includes round-trip transportation to Lynchburg.
The distillery is a must-see for Southern history buffs and fans of Tennessee whiskey.
It's a good idea to book your Jack Daniel's Distillery tickets ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment.
Don't forget to bring your official photo ID if you’re going on a tasting tour.
The distillery’s visitor center doesn’t sell souvenirs, but other local shops are stocked.
The Mr. Jack Toast in the Hollow Tour includes transportation around the distillery by bus. This is the best tour option for visitors with limited mobility. All other tours involve walking and stairs.
The distillery is an easy and popular day-trip destination for visitors to Nashville, a 90-minute drive away. If you don’t have a designated driver in your group, you should book transportation in advance or join a tour.
Tours operate daily between morning and evening, except for on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. The distillery is most popular on the weekends (Friday through Sunday) and around major holidays. Tours often fill quickly, so arrive early or ensure your spot by booking ahead.
Legend has it that Jack Daniel started his distilled whiskey business at the age of 13 after his caretaker, a Lutheran minister, decided to devote his life to the ministry, leaving a distillery in Daniel's care. Daniel later accredited the whiskey’s success to the use of iron-free spring water, which is still used to this day.
