Tennessee in December Jack Daniel's & Uncle Nearest Distillery tours question

[Skinsfan1311]

We'll be in Nashville for a few days after Christmas.   We're definitely doing JD, but the tour company offers a combination tour that includes JD & Uncle Nearest.    To anyone whose been, is the Uncle Nearest worth visiting?     Please bear in mind that we've toured a shit-ton of distilleries in Kentucky.   JD has been on the bucket list for years.  Not sure about Uncle Nearest.  I've only ever tried one of their whiskeys, and wasn't overly impressed.    

 

Thanks!

What can one expect at the JD tour?

Hell if I know!

I don't think they have a still on site and from what I read it sounds like more of an event center with a bar and restaurant. Also sort of a concert venue.

If you don't like their whiskey then there's probably no reason to go.

The Missus already vetoed that anyway. She only wants to hit one distillery and JD is where she wants to go. I'm working on her see if we can hit Dickel too, but that's probably not in the cards...

Gotta get a Dickle tickle. Lol

I've been to Dickel! It's good.

Do you have veto power as well for things that aren’t appealing to you?

Update:

She's given the JD tour the green light!

Leipers Fork isn’t far from

Nashville and it’s a cool stop, definitely worth a visit/tasting/tour.
