109: Nelson's Green Brier and Belle Meade Bourbon

What this episode covers

In this week's podcast, we learn some family and Tennessee Whiskey history from Charlie Nelson of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery. Charlie, along with his father and his brother Andy, stumbled upon a bit of family history while out on the road one day. This discovery led them down a long and winding path to resurrection of the family distillery, DSP-TN-5. Nelson's Green Brier Distillery dates back to 1880, though it wasn't revived by Charlie and Andy until 2009. We found the stories of the family history to be fascinating and the whiskey was the perfect accompaniment.
