A drought in Lynchburg, Tenn., is putting the production of legendary Jack Daniel's whiskey at risk. The spring used to craft Jack Daniel's may dry up, and although the Tennessee whiskey maker is conserving the water, distillers are wondering what may happen if the spring goes dry.

This video has more about how the drought is affecting Jack Daniel's production, and why they may need to stop producing the whiskey until water levels increase.

The latest Drought Monitor shows that most of southern Tennessee is in a severe drought. Nearby Nashville has only received 13.95 inches of precipitation this year, more than 9 inches below average.

According to the Jack Daniel's website, the water at the spring "flows year-round at 800 gallons per minute at a constant temperature of 56°and is virtually iron free. Its the reason why the distillery was located in this spot originally - and why its remained there ever since. Just outside the cave youll find a statue of Jack Daniel. The man himself, standing guard over this prized spring."
