How is it possible that Jack Daniels whiskey is distilled in Lynchburg TN, in a county (Moore) that is legally “dry?” And why do the distillers continue to claim that the Lynchburg population is “361,” when the 2000 census showed the town to have 5,740 people?

I have always wondered how whiskey can be made in a county where it is illegal to purchase it, and why haven’t the folks at Jack Daniels used their influence to get the county to become a “wet” county? It seems to me that the officials there, would do everything possible to please their most famous business and single largest attraction.

I know that in Anaheim CA, for example, the folks at Disneyland can get anything they want, from either Anaheim or Orange County, because neither entity would want to see the Disney folks leave.
