Prichards' Distillery

After visiting Jack Daniel's, we drove to nearby Kelso, Tennessee, so I could pick up a bottle of Prichards' Private Stock rum (which is only available at the distillery's gift shop). The distillery itself is really special—it's in an old school (complete with gymnasium-turned-booze warehouse), and, as you can see in the photos, a true mom and pop operation.

Jack Daniel Distillery

Paid a quick visit the Jack Daniel Distillery on Wednesday morning, where I picked up a barrel of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select for Bub City. The tasting experience there differed wildly from the three I'd experienced earlier this week, as I'm sure you can tell from these photos. There wasn't a whiskey thief in sight, but I think the folks who normally won't touch Jack Daniel's are going to be pleasantly surprised by this particular barrel.
