DISTILLERY EXCLUSIVES

2024 RELEASES

GREEN BRIER TENNESSEE WHISKEY | BOTTLED IN BOND

Available October 4th at the Distillery Mercantile.

$49.99

This special expression of Nelson’s Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey recreates our founder Charles Nelson’s recipe, first released to the public in 1860. It is made with corn, wheat and malted barley and mellowed through a bed of sugar maple charcoal. This Tennessee Whiskey was crafted in a single distilling season at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery in Nashville, Tennessee and aged for six years, adhering to the standards laid out by the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. 

The “Bottled In Bond” designation was originally intended to guarantee the quality and authenticity of whiskey, ensuring consumers knew they were getting a product that met certain standards. Today, bottled in bond whiskeys are often seen as a mark of quality and tradition, though they are less common than other types of whiskey due to the strict requirements they must meet. We invite you to raise a glass and enjoy this whiskey that's as rich in history as it is in flavor. 

Proof: 100.0
Nose: caramel, cornbread, allspice
Palate: cracked black pepper, molasses, fruitcake 
Finish: sweet tobacco, honey, black tea
