Distillery Exclusives

Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery Exclusives are unique whiskeys showcasing creative, exceptional expressions of whiskey. These releases are produced in extremely limited quantities, and are only available at our distillery in Nashville, Tennessee.

These expressions are released and revealed one at a time throughout the year, each with its own release date. These special releases are available, while supplies last, at our Distillery Mercantile and occasionally make their way to retailers.

Release dates and reveals will be announced via social media and our email newsletter, so make sure to follow along and stay tuned.

2023 RELEASES

Nelson Bros. | Honey Cask Finish

Available May 27 at the Distillery.

$199.00

We've once again partnered with our good friends at TruBee Honey Farm in Arrington, TN, who have artfully filled empty Nelson Brothers Bourbon barrels with local wildflower honey, resulting in a delightful Barrel-Aged Honey with a flavor profile that simply cannot be replicated or surpassed. Once the TruBee process is complete, we return the honey barrels to our distillery and fill them with our Nelson Brothers Bourbon to finish for an additional 6-8 months.

The result is a new arrangement of one of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery's most celebrated bouquets: Nelson Brothers Honey Cask Finish.
