When I was down there some associates liberated an (empty) Jack Daniels barrel from the bondage of it's oppressors (and we will leave it at that in case any of the good men and women of law enforcement are reading along) one evening.
We put a couple two-three gallons of lemonade in it and rolled it out in the back yard, gave it a quarter turn or so a couple times each day. The next saturday we had us some high-octane lemonade! It wasn't mule-kick strong, but it made the effort worthwhile.
It used to be that they would sell you one, then they quit that so as to send them all to the scotch guys, now I think there is a store on the square in Lynchburg that will sell you any number of things made out of them, or a whole one if you so choose.
What I want to do is get one of the single-barrel deals. You can arrange through your local liquor distributor to go down there and have Jimmy Bedford or one of his lieutenants go out in the barrel house with you and select a barrel that's to your liking (i.e. you get a tasting tour of the joint). Then they bottle it up and ship it to you, empty barrel and 14 (I think) cases of JD, shrink wrapped on a pallet.
