A quick stop from downtown Nashville to Marathon Village takes visitors back in time as they step foot inside Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery. 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 stories about sunken ships and lost gold, a woman running a distillery before women could vote and the rebirth of a business after 100 years, you’ll be sucked into the guided tour and tasting experiences offered at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery. Sample the spirit based on the recipe for Tennessee’s oldest whiskey, two modern-day, high-rye bourbons and finish your tasting with a decadent caramel pecan liqueur.
Commemorate your visit with a peek in the mercantile shop where spirits, apparel, and barware are available for purchase.

Our weekend experiences, Friday through Sunday, often sell out. We suggest booking online in advance to reserve your tour on those days. Tastings booked online must be done at least 15 minutes prior to tour start. If a tasting shows to be completely booked, please call to inquire about availability. We will always try to accommodate walk-in business if possible.

A valid ID is required for all tastings.
