Visitors will learn who Mr. Jack Daniel was and how he ended up with the best selling whiskey in the world. They'll get to see (and smell) whiskey dripping slowly through charcoal and the new oak barrels used in maturing Tennessee's finest whiskey. Once you tour the Experience and spend some time with the folks from Jack, it'll make you want to plan a visit to Lynchburg, Tennessee to see how and where they've made Jack Daniel's since 1866. The Experience is open to all folks, 21 years old and up, for tours free of charge. Games and giveaways will also be part of the entertainment at various times throughout the festival.
