Where To See The Whiskey Barrel Tree and Jack Daniels and Music City

In December 2014 i saw the barrel tree on a poster on Oxford Circus underground station in London. Jack Daniels Whiskey build a whiskey barrel tree at their HQ in Tennesse, USA.

The company have been sending barrels to Britain for some time. They used to send their used barrels to Scotland.

But in recent times they have been sending barrels to London, England, for decorative purposes to build a tree which is displayed from November through the Christmas period. The company is also involved in promoting music in the UK. See their website.

If you get to visit the Jack Daniels Distillery in the USA, here's what you might see in Lynchburg and Tennessee.

Jack Daniels in the USA runs tours all year. 

The outdoor tour takes about one hour ten minutes and includes steps so you will need outdoor walking shoes and clothes. 

Another tour includes a tasting, for which a charge is made.

If, like me, you are armchair travelling today, take a look at whiskey barrel furniture. You can have furniture made from barrels turned into tables, barrel drinks cabinets, and trugs - trays with upright handles, or chairs.

Barrels can also be used for gardens, as rain barrels, water features containing miniature lily ponds, containers for three level three size stepped fountains, and full size or half barrel troughs for plants.

A barrel tree was built in Covent Garden last year (2013) using white oak barrels, covered in lights and topped with a seasonal star.
