Whiskey Tasting Experience in Nashville

Overview

Digging into the past didn’t turn up skeletons and scandals for brothers Andy and Charlie Nelson; more like sour mash and stills. After discovering their triple great grandfather was one of the most successful whiskey distillers in pre-prohibition America, the brothers vowed to revive the since-forgotten family business. If you’re into sunken ships and lost gold, a woman running a distillery before women could vote and the rebirth of a Nashville business after 100 years, you’ll be sucked into this story.
Sample gold medal award-winning Nelson’s Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey, the spirit based on the wheated mash bill recipe for Tennessee’s oldest whiskey and mellowed in a sugar maple charcoal bed. Taste the perfected blends of two, modern-day, straight bourbon whiskeys crafted by the Nelson Brothers, and finish your tasting with strong and sweet Louisa’s coffee caramel pecan liqueur.

My husband and I toured Nelson Green Brier Distillery and really enjoyed it! We are geeky science nerds who don’t drink, but we find the distilling process fascinating. Add on the incredible history of this distillery along with our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, and we give this experience our highest recommendation!

Jacob Nelson was a great guide through the history of the distillery. He really gave a great tour that he infused with information as well as his own jokes. I’ve been on many distillery and brewery tours but this was by far the best. The history behind this distillery made the tour that much better.
