I do, and I'm not about to go into THAT cave, thanks!
On every tour they state that to date NO one has EVER discovered the source of the water coming out of the cave. With MY luck I'd find out it's outflow from a tannery somewhere around Tullahoma...or worse.
I can hear it now....'No WONDER they run it through charcoal!!!'
I was trying to find the Belle of Lincoln label and stumbled on this via google. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-361156/tm.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.crcheatham.com/jackdanielbelle2.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Take a look at the bottle this guy found when he moved into an apartment in Chicago. The first link is to a forum and the second is to the bottle itself. It doesn't look like a real Belle of Lincoln bottle, but it isn't a wine bottle either.
What's more strange is some BoL labels have St. Louis, MO and some Lynchberg, TN.
Without going back through all the threads and links referenced, I think I recall BoL production moved to St. Louis for a short time. Would that mean labels with TN locations are reproductions and not genuine?
That would be interesting, as JD prides itself (and says at every tour) that every drop of JD whiskey has all come from the hollow there in Moore county, TN. They may have bottled it in St. Louis, but the product was made in Tennessee.
That said, I also never thought about it saying 'straight whiskey' on the label. JD promotes itself as being 'Tennessee Whiskey', which is always run through charcoal. It's what makes it JD. "Straight' whiskey" isn't charcoal filtered.
