Jack Daniel's Distillery, Nashville

It’s ironic that the tiny town of Lynchburg—home to Jack Daniel’s Distillery—is in a dry county; you won't get a taste of the famous Tennessee sippin’ whiskey anywhere in town, including the distillery. You can purchase some of the booze to take home with you, though, as long as it's not Sunday. No visit to the distillery would be complete without a visit to Miss Mary Bobo's, where buttery squash casserole, crispy fried chicken and hot homemade rolls and cornbread are served family-style in a historic home that was once a boarding house. Reservations are required for a meal at Miss Mary’s, ideally two or three months in advance; there is a cancellation list, too, in case your plans don't firm up till the day of. Tours of the distillery happen every 15 minutes from 9AM to 4:30PM daily except holidays.
