Andy and Charlie Nelson
Co-owners of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, Charlie and Andy Nelson, have launched their fair share of award-winning small-batch spirits, but come this October, they will release their most anticipated yet.
Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey is an authentic Tennessee Whiskey created according to the 110-year-old recipe of their ancestor's initial bottled whiskey and is their first spirit to be produced from start to finish in the present Nelson's Green Brier Distillery.
The limited release of Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey honors the Nelson family heritage with the rebirth of the original family recipe that swept markets across the world in the late 1800s. After a decade of determination and dedication, this pedigreed whiskey has been produced in fifty-three-gallon barrels — yielding approximately a few thousand cases. It has been aged between 2-5 years, bottled at 91-proof, and has a nose of caramel, vanilla, nutmeg, chocolate, cinnamon, and nougat.
" We've had this recipe in our family for more than 100 years, so we were determined to adhere to its strictest specification in re-creating the whiskey of our great-great-great-grandfather," says Andy Nelson, COO. "Our commitment to detail and quality extends to the filigree of the hand-designed label, whose ivy-draped logo hails to the brand's founding design" Andy's brother, Charlie Nelson, CEO, adds, "The heart and soul of our brand lies in Tennessee, which is why we are incredibly proud to be bringing back this historic label here in Nashville to our friends, family, and neighbors."
Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey will be available to the public starting on October 1, at Nashville area liquor stores, bars, and restaurants.
