    The Republicans in Washington tend to not care much about vices. They were gone legalizing weed. You go down to the Deep South and they hate booze so much that they have dry counties.

      One of which has the Jack Daniels distillery smack-dab in the middle of it. Better yet, they have a legal loophole just for the gift shop.

      Moore County, where the Jack Daniel’s distillery is located, is one of the state’s many dry counties. While it is legal to distill the product within the county, it is illegal to purchase it there.[60][failed verification] However, a state law has provided one exception: a distillery may sell one commemorative product, regardless of county statutes.[61] Jack Daniel’s now sells Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel, the original No. 7 blend (in a commemorative bottle), and a seasonal blend (on rotation) at the distillery’s White Rabbit Bottle Shop.
