Explore generations of history behind Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, followed by an up-close look at the production floor, and concludes with a premium tasting of four seasonal selections.
Nelson's Green Brier Distillery in Nashville, Tennessee, is a testament to tradition, innovation, and family legacy. Founded in the 1800s by Charles Nelson, a German immigrant, the distillery quickly became one of the largest producers of whiskey in the nation. However, the company faced closure due to Prohibition, and for nearly a century, the distillery lay dormant. In the early 2000s, Charles Nelson’s great-great-great grandsons, Andy and Charlie Nelson, revived the brand. Rediscovering their family's rich heritage, they embarked on a journey to restore Nelson’s Green Brier to its former glory. Today, the distillery combines old-world craftsmanship with modern production techniques. Visitors to the distillery can explore its fascinating history, witness the whiskey-making process firsthand, and enjoy tastings of premium spirits, including its signature Tennessee whiskey. Nelson's Green Brier Distillery has reclaimed its place in the heart of Nashville, symbolizing resilience and the enduring spirit of American whiskey.
