Lynchburg

Saturday I took a little mini-road trip to Lynchburg, TN to visit the Jack Daniel's Distillery. While the weather wasn't that great (mostly overcast with a light drizzle at times), I did get a few decent pictures to share.

Enjoy...

The lengendary Squire's Room...yes, I am a TN Squire

Overall, I really enjoyed the tour. Whether you drink or not, the entire process is extremely intriguing. It's a must if you live nearby or are traveling through (right under an hour drive from Nashville). Perhaps an extra attraction for the discriminating whisky sippers attending BlogNashville in May?

It was a pretty big day at the Distillery as the Master Distiller, Jimmy Bedford, was having a bottle signing. The line was so long that it wasn't even attempted. I did, however, get to meet Mr. Bedford when I was in Las Vegas last year attending this.

Note...there will be a few more pictures coming tomorrow to take part in this.
