It takes about an hour and a half to get from Nashville to Lynchburg, a small town with a population of 6,300 and whose economy is based solely on the Jack Daniel’s distillery. Funny fact : it is illegal to sell alcohol in this country. Jack Daniel’s was founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton Daniel, AKA Jack Daniel, born in 1849 and died in 1911. Legend has it that one day when he could not recall the combination of the company safe, he got angry and kicked it. He broke his big toe, the wound became infected and he died of this infection. Jack Daniel’s as well as Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle are a mythical brand in the United States with a rich history, which is why a visit is a must. You will discover a beautiful museum as well as the stages of the manufacturing and transformation of the product from A to Z, very interesting. And in the end, obviously, we get to sample some Jack Daniel’s products ! The small town also has a lovely cachet with a Harley-Davidson dealership and shops that sell everything made from Jack Daniel’s product. A meal at the famous BarrelHouse BBQ is a must.
