You'll get a plaque in one of the rooms in the distillery with your name on it if you buy it from them. I've taken the tour about 5 times.

Reminds me of a story my sister inlaw told me....
During her residency one of the patients was a woman with severe liver damage. Sure sign of alcoholism, yet when the residents asked the patient about her drinking habit, she replied she had only one drink each day. Residents were baffled and went to the doctor on duty and told him. Doctor went to see the patient with residents in tow. He asked her about her drinking, and she again said one drink a day. Doc said, "I see. Tell me more about this drink..." Turns out she had one of those 7-11 Mega-Gulp plastic cups. She would add a fifth of whiskey to the cup, some ice and water, then sip away all day. That is how they learned the importance of asking follow up questions...  |

Saw those years ago, thought they were like 5K then. Shoulda bought a few as an investment. Probably would have drank my investment though.

This has been going on for a long time. You can go to the distillery and sample barrels and pick out the perfect one. Apparently bars do this quite often.

I don't remember off hand what it works out to be, but, I do know that there is a lot of fifths in a barrel. That's a shit ton of liquor to drink up. |

While Moore County (where Lynchburg and the distillery resides) is a dry county, you can buy JD at their Visitor's Center and you've been able to do it for quite some time (since '95). Taste-testing is not selling it, so being in a dry county wouldn't apply. |

Sort of like who you can and can't shoot in the face if they happen to be standing in Texas and give you a dirty look, or fuck your wife after sunset. I personally think Jack Daniels helps to perpetuate some of the myths to give them a bit of mystique. I've heard all sorts of tall tales "you can take one sip but you have to spit it on the ground and someone has to witness you spit it out." "They drive the barrels to another part of Tennessee and taste them and then drive them back" "They have a letter from the governor that they are allowed to drink it but only in one special room and only if there is a cop there with a video camera" The distillers are tasting the product. The end. |

I'll try and find a link to the Discovery channel show where they wouldn't let him taste on premises. |

How does the math work? Is it a deal? I believe a whiskey barrel is 40 gallons, which is 200 fifths. It costs $9660, so that's $48.30 per fifth. IMHO, that is very expensive whiskey. |
