Little known fact for most visitors to Jack Daniel's is that the county that it is located, Moore County is a "dry county." No alcohol can be sold there. There was a loophole created to allow the distillery to sale collectible bottles of the whiskey, but it must be sealed and bagged.

Seeing you take a shot of whiskey had to be the most adorable thing I've seen in a while. 😂

You're enthusiasm is such a big part of what makes these videos so fun. Thanks for sharing!

Mustangs, lightening bugs, cool shirts, S'mores, good food and pie, and Jack Daniel's... sounds like a perfect day.

S'mores by a fire and lightning bugs...pretty good night right there.

I'm laughing my butt off watching the tasting. Marie's faces are hilarious.🤣🤣

I've been watching you for a while now, and your English has gotten very good over time. You speak much more freely and more confident. I enjoy your videos :) thanks for sharing

Lived in Lynchburg from around 1973 to 1996 and still live close by. A tradition was that the kindergarten class would always tour the distillery. I still have a photo of my my whole class in front of the jack daniels statue which was a different one then in 1977. Had an uncle that was a tour guide there for many years.

Good Ol' southern accent.😂 It grows on you over time. Long enough here, and you would start to have your own! 😂 Seen it with friends! Cool to see someone enjoy the fire flies in that way! Have done that my whole life here! Love these mountains!!!

I drive by there twice a year on our way to Huntsville to see our daughter. We've never stopped. Thanks for the preview.

I'm proud of you for clearly going outside your comfort zone and trying something new! Clearly, you weren't enjoying it but you stuck with it and got through it. Good for you!

Those barrels after being used for whiskey are sent to a soy sauce crafter in upstate New York, they call it bluegrass soy sauce. Some barrels are sent to various furniture shops or decor shops to be sold as is as decorative pieces for a house. They look actually very nice and can be easily made into chairs and whatever.

Best part of the WHOLE DAY, making SMORE's 👍😎😁

Great job on this video. Born and raised about 15 minutes from there. Your face was priceless when you were tasting the whiskey. Thank you for visiting our great state.

OMG! I loved the little shiver on each of the whiskeys.

Glad to see you enjoyed another delightful day in my state. When I went to the Jack tour a few years ago, they were trying to get the law changed that prohibited them from doing "tastings". The law in question banned the sale of alcohol in the county - where the city of Lynchburg is located. Looks like they got the law changed.

Thank you Marie for your honesty and kindness to us, sometimes foolish Americans. I am 68 and lived 10 years of my first 15 years in other countries. I lived in the Paris area for 4 years as a middle school kid. I loved France and would love to go back. I don't remember how I found your channel but I think it was your reacting to music. I liked your young perspective on older music (Led Zepplin, etc.) but was really taken with your reaction to the Normandy cemeteries, especially the American one and the amount of graves there. Your appreciation of their sacrifice for France and Europe touched me deeply. If you are an example of who will be taking over the next generations of human beings, I have hope for the future. Thank you for your perspective and being such a lovely person. - Tom from Colorado

This young lady and her travels are wonderful! God bless you Marie!

Nothing like a whiskey tasting to start the day off right

You’re Kentucky hug was priceless…..

I have been many places seen many things but nothing is as beautiful as my Tennessee.

Awwww you caught a lightning bug. When we were kids my mother would give us kids a mason jar to catch lightning bugs. Mom would punch holes in the metal lid so they could breathe and we'd put a few blades of grass in so could crawl around inside jar. We'd put the jar with lighting bugs by our bed so it was like a natural night light. When we woke up we'd release them outside. I always thought my mom was pretty cool. ❤

😊 Marie, I'm thinking that you are a closet American who just happens to speak French very well. You are all over the place. I saw you in Alton, Illinois, close to where I live. I'm seeing you in Tennessee not far from where my niece lives. You were in St Louis, Missouri where my doctor lives. You probably have been to Florida where my brother lives. You are touring my country 🇺🇸 the right way. Visit the small towns. Everyone wants to go to the large cities. You will experience more American culture the way you are doing it. Your American English is very good.

Looks like a fun day! I got a good laugh watching your reactions to the whiskeys!😂

Sharing a large table & passing the food around is called eating "family style" or "country style". I was pleased to hear that you liked the fried okra. When I saw it on the table, I wondered if you would like it. There is a definite knack to cooking it well.

When I toured the JD distillery, they were still serving lemonade in the hospitality room.

Bonjour Marie! Glad to see the weather holding out for you and you still having a great time. Your reaction to Whiskey is much like mine. I don't like whiskey, rye, nor bourbon, but I would enjoy taking that tour. Hope that you are doing well! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

I remember when I could count 100 lightning bugs in my backyard on a summer evening when I was a kid in the 60's.

Hey Marie 😃 🥃 🌄 " Whiskey making is an act of cooperation between the blessings of nature and the wisdom of man " Masataka Taketsuru Wow! You saw that many Mustangs in a day , that's fire. Lynchburg looked charming & serene , perfect for antique shopping & dining out with friends. The tour around Jack's Distillery & how it's processed was fascinating , especially regarding the oak barrels & how they influence the flavours , it's remarkable how many they turn out each day. I didn't know that they've been using the same local spring for so long. I like how its hasn't changed much & they've remained true to tried & tested traditions. You took it in good spirits tasting those whiskeys , oh your face , I hope it didn't burn to much , you can look back & laugh , it's brave of you to not shy away from anything. Whiskey does take some getting used to ( it only began to take shape in France in the 80s at Warenghem in Brittany with Armorik) & it hasn't been as much part of the culture as it is with us , it does need to be savoured to be appreciated. The classic number 7 is a good introduction (affordable) that's not to strong to handle along with gentleman jack. Like You know by now the Tennessee Rye very spicy , rich & dry with a higher grain bottled at 90% but it is one of the few that hasn't been heated. Who's Cooler than old blue eyes , it doesn't surprise me that Frank would want to go out with a JD by his side , he was probably buried in style with a tuxedo to , what a legacy , so many memorable songs , I heard " my kind of girl" for the first time just recently. I like how they've included a book in the gift box all about his life & fondness for whiskey. Bobo's looked warm & friendly ( it did used to be a board house) with a perfect hostess , your southern style meal was delicious , anyone paying a visit has to try the famous fudge pie , it has to be with a folk. Let's hope that sharing stories while tucking in around the dinner table becomes more popular again. Catching fireflies & having 🍡 by the 🔥 as the 🌌 come out is what summer nights were made for after a fun-filled day. If your not keen on any more whisky straight , you might prefer it with cherries & orange in a 🍹 or grilled bourbon Peaches in a caramel sauce , it's also great with BBQs. You can find about how woman have played a important part in the whiskey industry at Bourbon real talk / women in whiskey not a new trend online. Thanks again Marie , ha don't have a snaccident & eat a big bag of yummy chocolate pecans. the Calgary 🐴 Stampede just got underway enjoy the parade if your watching. Take care , cute bracelet , Sunday Blessings 😊 💕 🌸✌️

VERY Lovely video almost the degustation of Single Barrel .🤠🤠🤠

"... the bunghole is drilled...." .... and Beavis and Butthead laugh uncontrollably.

If my next car is a Mustang, I blame you.

Really wish we had more people from Europe coming to America just like you. Who take the time to learn the language and partake in our American culture. Too many people crossing illegally who just want to come here and use us up. But not Europeans, you guys come over and so sweet so friendly enjoy yourselves. And we love it. Of course France is definitely one of our closest friends and have been for centuries. But anyway you're adorable and love watching your videos. Should come here to live permanently if you ever want too. We live in a beautiful country. I'm really happy you're enjoying it

I'm 66 yo and have been a huge fan of Mustangs which was my first car I ever had and love JD when I was drinking whisky! You need to move to the states! Love and Peace from Phoenix Arizona!😃

Awesome video! Was never an alcohol drinker myself, never saw the appeal. You handled the taste test very well! Miss Mary Bobo's looks like a wonderful and unique experience. Happy to see you so happy! 👍

That Jack D Rye tingles a bit. Hahaha. Your reactions to the tasting made me chuckle.

That whiskey was strong, lol. Cool Mustang Shirt.

Great place to tour Marie. The barrel making was very interesting. So happy to see you enjoying Tennessee.

I commented on your last video, and I'll say it again here. I'm SO glad that you have been able to experience some of the wonderful things we have to offer here in the southeast US, because it's truly something special. I live about an hour from Lynchburg and have visited many times. One of my Grandmother's favorite things to do when she was still alive was to go have lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's with her friends, and they did that about once a month. I'm so glad you were able to have this experience while you were here!

LOL Definitely not a drinker. So happy that you had such a wonderful experience. Southern fried chicken is the best. Be safe and most of all, have fun.

Very cool and fun video. That lunch reminded me of going to my grandmother's. We would sit at the table with everyone and enjoy lots of food and conversation. Glad you are getting to see lots of Mustangs, you have got to drive one on one of your trips here.

One of your best videos! You had me laughing throughout.

I have been to Mary Bono’s years ago. Great country food.

Great job Marie!

I think the whiskey was getting to you. I knew a guy who drank a quart of whiskey every day, but not all at once. I really enjoy your spirit. I still say you need a Mustang of your own.

You're living a dream, girl.

You have the best...high quality...very professional videos

Hello Marie, yet another super cool video!

I like your style Marie! Your videos are very entertaining. Please don't be so hard on yourself regarding your English speaking abilities, your English is very good, it is definitely not broken. Maybe you could change your "About" message to: "Just a French girl learning English and exploring the world." Keep up the great work, I wish you continued success.

The shivering reactions to the Whiskey making me LOL

Nice to see you visiting my neck of the woods!! Hope you enjoyed everything!!

Excellent tour, thanks for taking us along. Really great content!

I'm happy u tried some Tennessee whiskey wat a great video

I was wondering when you try the Jack. Hahaha, Explain Explain Explain oooh a Mustang Explain Explain Explain. watching Mary's face during whiskey tasting was worth the price of admission.

Marie after the Jack Daniels tasting......"I think I'm in Kansas now!" 😂

Marie...maybe you're a champagne gal. 🍾🥂❤😊

Great video. You have become a great storyteller to go along with the video. Seems so professional now. Well done. Hope you are having a great summer. Stay well and happy.

Incredible video I enjoyed every second of it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I've been loving the Tennessee videos, I think they're some of your best videos! September would be a great time to visit the south again because that's when football season starts. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Florida... You'd have a great time going to a football game(and tailgating) at any of those places!

So much fun. 🎉. Whiskey can take some practice haha.

Love these videos. I usually drink scotch, but I have to admit that when I just want something easy to drink, I love Jack Daniel's. I've tried all the ones shown in the video, but the Sinatra is my favorite, followed by the single barrel, and then the No. 7. I love this channel and that it is a complete cultural journey, to include the landscapes, countryside, everyday life, the people, and the food. It really is like a living journal through each little pocket of the US she visits, which is really incredible, and could probably serve as a sort of documentary and a shortcut to tips and tricks for many Europeans (and obviously those who live in France) about general areas of the US if they choose to visit, and what to expect from the local culture, people, food, and of course the landscape. For example, it takes quite a bit longer to drive various places in Texas than it does in Tennessee, just because the size of the states are so different. So it even offers a certain idea of what to expect traveling in the general area throughout a day and/or night. Great channel, and a great international ambassador for her country.

Obviously - you have a drinking problem. That Bobo’s lunch looked scrumptious! Must be interesting sitting with strangers. Like having thanksgiving with them - pretty cool! Also, Snaccident 🤣👍 Fun video! Looks like a cool place to visit. Thanks for sharing

I grew up in that country. My dad and others liked whiskey occasionally……me….wine. LOL

I never noticed you’re a lefty! Congrats!! 😁

I can only imagine the culture shock of french what ever they drink to tennessee whiskey i wont be surprised if there were days inbetwewn filming for this vaction

That is a place of rich history. I live less than 30 minutes from Lynchburg. You passed through my town of Shelbyville to get there. Thanks for being such a charming visitor. Be safe, have fun.

Great video. Looks like you are having some excellent experiences.

You are just too cute Marie! Lol, I was wondering how your English would be after those shots. Perfect

Another wonderful video Marie.

So very happy that you were able to come visit my state , hope that you had a wonderful time , setting the heat aside lol lol lol - you come back now anytime

Your taste testing made me laugh.

crazy part I learned on my distillery tour years ago is that Lynchburg is in a dry county. you can buy the liquor in the gift shop but apparently nowhere else.

I bet you felt like you were breathing fire from that second shot on lol. Also, that "extraordinary" @ 11:19 was incredibly American.

Long time bourbon drinker here and I too make that same face for many Rye whiskies.

I am really enjoying your videos of Tennessee my home state I hope you really enjoyed yourself here

Marie, I'm glad you got a chance to try the different kinds of Jack Daniels! Now you know what I felt like doing that in Scotland for my first experience with Scotch (I loved it). I did laugh a little when you showed us that you hadn't finished any of the samples, but that makes sense because you have never shown us a video of you out drinking. That does bring up an interesting question though. Do you have a favorite alcoholic drink? France is known worldwide for wine and Champagne, but I'm curious if you have a favorite alcoholic drink and if you have an interesting story to go along with that! 🤣 It's awesome that you got to hear all of the history, which is one of my favorite parts about going new places. Thanks for bringing us along. Take care, and keep smiling! 😃

Gotta love that Jack! 😁

Your face was the same as the first time I tried Eau De Vie Mirabelle and now I love the stuff. lol

If you want to get the lightning bugs to light on command, you can switch on and off a flashlight or your cellphone light towards them. You can get thousands of them going in a field that way.

Classic first Jack Daniels facial expression. Driving around metro Detroit you can see lots of Mustangs everyday.

I'm 38 and somehow completely forgot about capturing Lightning bugs in a wooden container with a mesh screen on on it. Childhood memories.

Hi Marie. Strong stuff that Tennessee whiskey. Enjoyed this video. Happy belated 4th of July.

Your in your element in our southern states sweetie.

Marie, you had me rolling on the floor laughing at the delay between you sipping the Jack Daniels and when you would shudder from the shock! Did you get to see the "safe" that Jack Daniels kicked and broke his big toe? He later died from gangrene because he was so stubborn he refuse to go to the doctor until it was too late! Personally, I prefer the Single Barrel Jack. Did you know during world war two, you could collect up "lightning bugs" and sell them to the military. They made a paste out of them and soldiers would use it as a low light source to read maps at night without being so obvious.

Hi 🖐 Miss Marie !!!! Drink up Me Hardee 😂 As always the like button 🔳 has been Illuminated 😊

I live just down the road in Shelbyville. I'm glad you enjoyed the food and they do it pretty well. That's what many of us around here grew up eating so its always nice to see that others enjoy it as well!

I'm definitely not a fan of most of the JD whiskies' I've tried, but one that I do enjoy is their Tennessee Honey. It's especially good with Coke.

Kim is the tour guide and the best they have at the distillery. Ask for Kim, Angelo, Justin. They have one tour guide that had multiple DUI's up North. You can find her mug shot online. 😂 Right Juliet? You, being the "smartest" tour guide there should know that. Make sure you check out the Glam Camp videos on here from JD! See what JD and their parent company are all about! If y'all want some "good" whiskey, drive a few miles away and check out the George Dickel distillery.

Great Video.I love Jack Daniel's. Your tour made me think of my tour through the champagne caves in Reims. Also, Mustangs are the best!

Looked like fun.

If I was your driver, I would have finished your drinks. Jack and Coke is an excellent drink. I hope you get to try one. We have all made that whiskey face. "I'm sorry I eat left handed," is an expression I have used so very many times. It is so good to see videos like this NOT in a major city. Thanks Marie

Now that's a tour I'd love to do. I'm not a whisky fan (give me mixed drinks and I'm happy, lol) so I'd be like you and TASTE each but not finish them off. That food did look yummy, especially that pie.

Great to see you party it up nice work!

I'm 10 minutes from there. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Welcome to tennessee 😊

KZfaq just notified me of this new video...that I already watched Four days ago...😂

Smoky Mountain bike week happens Sept 28 thru Oct 5 in the east Tennessee area, lots of Harleys, food, music and people from all over.

I have been on this tour many times, and also enjoyed it

You drove right past my house. I live about 15min from there

Well i was unaware fire flys arent in france i never thought i see an adult amazed by a fire fly

Maybe it's just me, but that seemed like it might have been a perfect day. There doesn't seem to be many of those around anymore. I hope you enjoyed it, I know I did watching it.
