The experience

The bus picks you up near Rep. John Lewis Way S. in Nashville at 9:45 am and departs at 10:00 am. You'll have about an hour and a half in Lynchburg's downtown square to grab lunch, browse local shops, or just walk around before heading to the distillery. During that same stop, you get a complimentary tasting of Company Distilling's flagship Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished with maple wood: a bonus exclusive to Mint Julep Experiences tours. (The tasting is self-guided and subject to Company Distilling's hours, they're closed Mondays, so plan accordingly.)

The Jack Daniel's tour itself runs about an hour and a half and is led by your guide. You'll sample single barrel and limited-edition whiskeys as part of the experience and learn about Tennessee whiskey history and the distillery's craft. The bus includes a cooler, ice, bottled water, and ponchos, and you're welcome to bring your own beverages for the drive, though only for passengers 21 and up. Tours operate in all weather, so dress in layers and wear close-toed shoes. There's significant outdoor walking involved.

You'll be back in Nashville around 5:00 pm. The whole day is seven hours door-to-door, and a professional driver and guide handle the route so you can relax on the bus. Drinking is optional. Plenty of people come for the history and the place itself.
