Distiller Notes
2020 San Francisco World Spirits Gold Medal Winner
Nelson's Green Brier's family recipe, with the first bottling since 1909. Painstakingly filtered through a mellowing bed of sugar maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.
Full and warm showing caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and apple aromas. On the palate, robust brown sugar, cinnamon roll, caramel apple and a touch cocoa. Long with lingering flavors of cinnamon, brown sugar, Gala apple and black cherry.
Mash Bill: Corn, Wheat, Malted Barley
Though they do have a great deal in common, Tennessee Whiskey and Bourbon are not the same. While both must be made from a grain mash bill of at least 51% corn and then left to age in unused, charred white oak barrels, what makes Tennessee Whiskey special is the charcoal filtering process that occurs just before the new-make spirit is transferred to barrel. Known as the Lincoln County Process, this filtering strips off some of the harsher flavor notes, making Tennessee Whiskey smooth and approachable.
