Journey back in time to the oldest registered distillery in the United States, the Jack Daniel Distillery. Located in Lynchburg, Tennessee, see how the famous “sippin’ whiskey” is made. You will experience a first hand account of every step in the process of making the world famous Jack Daniel’s whiskey, from the beautiful cave spring that produces pure limestone water, to the burning of Moore County hard sugar maplewood which is used in the charcoal mellowing process. In addition, you will enjoy visiting the 1886 renovated bottlery, which is now the Jack Daniel Amber Lager Brewery. Upon completion of this tour, you will have followed the history of the infamous Jack Daniels Brand from Jack Daniel's meager beginnings in his original office to today’s distillery.

After the tour, you will enjoy a true Southern family style meal at Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding House. Since 1908, this simple white Federal-style house has served as home to fine traditional Tennessee cooking and a gracious taste of Southern hospitality. Miss Mary Bobo’s Boarding house began back in 1908 when a young Miss Mary assumed ownership of the historic Salmon Hotel. The original structure was raised in 1867 as a traveler’s hotel and is built over a natural spring. Miss Mary ran the boarding house until her death at 101 in 1983. Today, Miss Lynne Tolley presides over the boarding house where her famous great-grand uncle, Mr. Jack Daniel, once took his daily noon-time meal. To honor Mr. Jack’s spirit, a recipe prepared with just a taste of the “hometown product” regularly graces the table. True to Southern boarding house tradition, you will sit together at large family tables alongside a gracious Lynchburg hostess who encourages conversation, shares a bit of local lore and ensures dishes are passed to the left. Miss Mary’s menu varies daily but always includes generous helpings of two home-style meats, six vegetables and side dishes, hot cornbread, biscuits or rolls, freshly brewed ice tea, homemade dessert; and a piping hot cup of coffee.
