Review of the Nashville to Jack Daniel’s bus tour, with whiskey tastings, Lynchburg free time, pricing, timing, tips, and practical advice.

Explore three rotating Tennessee distilleries from Nashville with 11-plus tastings, a friendly guide, countryside views, and no driving required.
“Easy, convenient, and fun! We visited 3 distilleries and stopped for lunch after the first stop. My favorite was the first tasting, it was informative, delish and provided enough information about their product to make us interested in purchasing after our tasting. The second was a large distillery with a beautiful space both indoor and outdoor. The last was my least favorite tour, it felt dry and stale.”
Tour Saint Augustine Distillery, learn bourbon-making, taste premium spirits with a Bourbon Steward, and take home a tasting glass.
“Our guide Larry was so informative and personable! Great value for the price. The best tasting/tour I have completed in a very long time. The Bourbon mixologist and Bourbon sommelier were also very engaging! Bourbon was excellent. Best gin I have ever tasted. Vodka was great also. Highly recommend the tasting. Both of the I will definitely complete the tour again in future visits to St. Augustine.”

The new tour was purely a bar crawl (although did still include true crime stories and the guide herself was entertaining in the story telling),…”
