Nelson Green Brier

Nelson's Green Brier Distillery is steeped in rich history. The brand was started by Charles Nelson in 1860 and reached quick popularity, producing over two million bottles a year by 1885. However that success ground to a halt, as statewide Prohibition in Tennessee caused them to shutter the distillery in 1909. The distillery was resurrected by Nelson's great-great-great-grandsons Charlie and Andy Nelson, and opened its doors in 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee. Being a Tennessee whiskey distillery, Nelson's Green Brier utilizes the charcoal-based Lincoln County Process, filtering their whiskey through a mellowing bed of sugar maple charcoal.
