  A distillery that lay forgotten for 90 years, until two brothers stumbled onto their own family's history.

  Expert description

  Nelson's Green Brier Sour Mash Tennessee Whiskey is an American Tennessee Whiskey, bottled at 45.5%. Nelson's Green Brier was founded by Charles Nelson in 1860 and grew into one of the South's largest whiskey producers, selling around 387,000 gallons a year by 1885, until Prohibition shut the distillery down in 1914. The story lay forgotten until brothers Charlie and Andy Nelson discovered a historical marker about their ancestor's distillery in 2006, while visiting the countryside outside Nashville. They reopened the distillery in November 2014, having already launched Belle Meade Bourbon in 2013 — a name drawn from the family's historic label — while waiting on permits and equipment.
