Nashville Barrel Company is a newer name making a lot of noise in the whiskey world. Known for sourcing and blending standout barrels rather than following one house recipe, they focus on big flavor and transparency. Their whiskeys have earned national recognition from Fred Minnick, making this stop a favorite for guests who love bold, barrel driven bourbon and rye.

Corsair Distillery is the first legal craft distillery in Nashville. Founded in 2008 by childhood friends Webber and Ben, they take whiskey making seriously and only bottle their best. Their “Innovate or Die” philosophy makes Corsair a standout first stop, where you’ll taste classic whiskeys alongside more adventurous spirits like barrel aged gin and red absinthe.

Big Machine was founded by music mogul Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Records and the man who signed Taylor Swift to her first major record deal. Trust us when we say this guy knows great music and great whiskey. His award winning whiskey is bold, full bodied, and made with locally sourced grains, limestone filled water, and time honored distillation techniques.
