“This was one of the smallest distilleries we visited on the whisky tour but, and I truly mean this, was one of the best. They serve some amazing drinks before your tour and the tour itself was one of the best. Bruce, the owner, took us through and his tour gave us more in-depth information than anywhere else. He was super friendly and happy to answer the abundance of questions my group had. Their spirits were awesome, I highly recommend the absinthe. I also hate honey Whiskey but theirs was to die for. Thank you again for all your kindness Bruce!” – Michael B.
Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery
Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery is honored to revive their outstanding family recipe, with the first bottling since 1909. Thoroughly purified through a maturing bed of sugar maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels, it’s easy to taste why Charles Nelson’s wheated mash bill recipe and cautious process set the standard by which all future Tennessee Whiskeys are evaluated.
Before prohibition Nelson’s Green Brier, Tennessee Whiskey was the greatest selling brand of Tennessee Whiskey around the globe. Files show it was sold throughout the United States and was relished across Europe and in parts of Asia.
