Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery: Reviving Tennessee’s Whiskey Legacy
Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, located in Nashville, Tennessee, brings back a storied family tradition that dates to the late 1800s. Once a powerhouse in American whiskey production, the distillery was originally founded by Charles Nelson in 1860 and was one of the largest producers of whiskey in the U.S. before Prohibition. Revived in 2006 by Nelson’s descendants, the distillery blends historical recipes with modern craftsmanship to create premium Tennessee whiskey. Known for its smooth, richly flavored spirit, Nelson’s Green Brier honors the legacy of Tennessee’s whiskey-making heritage.
​
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
The distillery is dedicated to authenticity, using locally sourced grains and traditional methods. Its whiskey is crafted using the Lincoln County Process, filtering through sugar maple charcoal for added smoothness. Committed to sustainability, Nelson’s Green Brier integrates water recycling and waste reduction into its production process, respecting the environment while maintaining quality.

Aging Process
Nelson’s Green Brier whiskeys are aged in new American oak barrels, where they develop rich flavors over several years. The aging process imparts caramel, vanilla, and oak notes, resulting in a full-bodied, smooth whiskey. Careful monitoring ensures consistency and excellence in every batch.

Awards and Recognition
Since its revival, Nelson’s Green Brier has earned critical acclaim, including top awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Its Belle Meade Bourbon and other whiskeys are celebrated for their quality and craftsmanship, securing the distillery’s place as a leader in Tennessee whiskey production.
