    Made a quick stop on our way back from Louisville. Friendly staff. We really enjoyed the TN whiskey, not so much the bourbon. Neat small craft distillery. Worthwhile place to visit.

    Lynnville is a small town with a quaint town square and awesome burgers, so if you find yourself wanting to find more things to do in the area, you must visit this distillery. The staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It's a cool stop off the beaten path.

    Such a great place to get some tastings. Rudy took us to the back to bottle our own whiskey and vodka. Then leads us back to the front to do the tastings. We tried whiskey, vodka, gin, 'shine, spiced rum and there premade old fashion. We also had a little picnic for after and sat outside at the picnic tables. Definitely a place to try.

    It's a little off the beaten path, but that doesn't take anything away from Tenn South Distillery. I only went for a tasting, which turned out to be excellent. The very-knowledgeable attendant took me through everything they offered. The single barrel and blended Whiskeys were the best, in my opinion. They also have a couple good gins and several unflavored and flavored moonshines. All-in-all, great trip!

One knew how to keep track of the different checks/couples, but some folks from our group, felt like we were "bothering" her. The other bartender, just seemed pretty aloof to what was going on. Again, nice place and we will be back, but when you have an intimate/small setting like they do, I would make a small suggestion of being a bit more personable, and being able to keep better track of customer checks.

I'd describe myself as a…read more"formerly pretty good" blind taster of whiskeys meaning I can usually distinguish between ages within a brand. I like a little of everything - smoky, peaty, sweet - as long as its reasonably smooth and well balanced. Given this preference, I tend to know better than to go with cask strength whiskeys, but I tried their maple wood finished cask strength to be a good sport. And to my surprise it was just perfect - like the extra concentration (57.7% vs the standard 40%) added more flavor rather than more burn. I think it was about $100 a bottle so I grabbed one and decided to check a bag so I could bring it home - it was that good.

Even without the tour, we had a fantastic experience. One of the unexpected highlights was the free shuttle that takes you from the parking area through historic Lynchburg to the Welcome Center. Along the way, the driver shares interesting history about the town and the distillery, which was a nice touch. The Welcome Center also offers a Whiskey Trail passport where you can collect stamps and free poker chips from participating Tennessee distilleries. We only had time to visit Jack Daniel's, but it was a really fun keepsake and definitely made us want to come back and explore more. Instead of the tour tasting, we opted for one of the paid tastings. I'm so glad we did because we were able to choose the whiskeys we actually wanted to try instead of a preset tasting lineup. The gentleman leading our tasting was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared plenty of history about both the distillery and each whiskey we sampled. The gift shops are adorable, and the pedestrian bridge makes it easy to walk into downtown Lynchburg, where there are plenty of locally owned shops and Jack Daniel's merchandise to browse. It's a charming little town that's perfect for strolling. I left with a small bottle of Single Barrel that became my evening sip for the rest of our road trip, and it was the perfect souvenir. Even without taking the full tour, this was a wonderful experience. If we find ourselves back in the area, we'd absolutely visit again--and next time we may finally take that tour. 10/10 would recommend.

The slushy was absolutely better in the hot summer day as we walked the property to learn about the history of the origination and the master distillers story. Years of history and purity are what make the whiskey what it is. Enjoyed world wide, and for a good reason. I would have just wished the tour was more centralized around the water tunnel where they show you the demineralization process of the water they use. Probably the coolest spot in Tennessee. Simply a MUST stop and worth the price of the tour. Absolutely loved every bit of it his tour. Worth every ounce of sweat to experience one of my favorite whiskeys! Didn't disappoint, and our tour guide was amazing! Wishing her a happy retirements and a huge thank you for being a school teacher in her county! Thank you for educating us on the process to make the Jack Daniel's Whiskey we all love and appreciate! (Didn't post all the pictures to let you experience this yourself!)

Dodging yet another storm that rolled through when our group was here, we posted up in Nelson's Green Brier for an hour or so. I haven't struggled so much like I have here to pick a craft cocktail. There are so many good ones on the menu that fit any type of pallet, that it took me so long to decide. I got a modified old fashioned and then there was a martini-like drink that I tried. Both really packed a punch, luckily we were walking to our next destination. In the store they seemed to have a flash-sale going on for one of the bourbons. It was normally around $75 or something and I got it for $45. I am sure that's not normal but it really made the selection even better, because the wall of whiskey/bourbon is also really tough to choose what you want!
