Almost forgot to include the photo of us next to the marble creation of Mr Daniel himself! And the group photo from our tour.
We didn't receive any samples from the distillery - free or otherwise as it was a Sunday. Boo!
Lynchburg is located in Moore County and it is a 'dry' county - since Prohibition Days.
After Prohibition, it took the distillery owner (Mr Daniel's nephew) 38 years to convince the government to allow the law changes required so that the distillery could begin again, on the proviso that liquor was manufactured but not sold in Moore County. Interesting.....
From Lynchburg, drove two hours north, arriving at Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday afternoon.
Torture.
ReplyDeleteThat would be like working at Cadbury's but it being illegal to eat chocolate.
Yep - a few people were not impressed.
