Did you know Jack Daniel's whiskey barrels are

made in Alabama? Join us for a fascinating tour and

see firsthand how these iconic barrels are crafted.

Explore the barrel-making process, learn how the

wood influences the flavor of whiskey and watch

skilled coopers assemble the barrels. Discover the

legal requirements for bourbon barrels - including

the specific type of wood used and how many times

a barrel can be reused. Because of its unique role in

aging spirits, the whiskey barrel has even been called

a "breathing time machine."
