From Moonshine to Majesty: A Distillery Dozen
Nashville boasts more distilleries than honky tonks on a Friday night (which is saying something). Here's a quick rundown of a few must-visits:
- Nelson's Green Brier Distillery: This historic spot boasts a legacy dating back to the 1860s! Take a tour and sample their award-winning whiskeys – their Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey is a smooth sipper that'll have you saying "yeehaw" for real.
- Corsair Distillery: Ever heard of smoked barley whiskey? No? Well, get thee to Corsair, my friend! These innovative folks are pushing the boundaries of flavor with unique spirits like their award-winning Barrel Aged Gin.
- Ole Smoky Distillery: If you're a fan of moonshine, then Ole Smoky is your jam. They offer a mind-boggling variety of moonshine flavors, from classic corn to something a little more exotic, like their Prickly Pear. Just remember, moonshine ain't for the faint of heart (or stomach)!
