  • Jack Daniel's whiskey is 'charcoal mellowed' by letting it drip through 10 feet of maple charcoal. This is what distinguishes Tennessee Whiskey from other American Whiskeys such as Bourbon. <br /> <br /> These covered wooden tanks are filled with charcoal. Freshly distilled whiskey drips in at the top and is collected at the bottom. The filtered whiskey is then ready to be barreled and aged.

  • Miss Mary Bobo's boarding house began as a traveler's hotel in 1867. Miss Mary Bobo ran her boarding house until her death in 1983, one month shy of her 102nd birthday. <br /> <br /> Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House Restaurant still stands today, welcoming visitors for home-cooked midday meals. <br /> <br /> I highly recommend a meal here, and suggest reservations.
