Nelson's Green Brier Distillery Guided Tour with Tastings

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.
