As one of the first states in the nation to pass a Prohibition law—10 years prior to federal Prohibition, no less—Tennessee owned America's bootleg market until the law was repealed in 1933. Travel back to the days of illicit drinking with visits to 3 of the best distilleries around Nashville.
Board a bus in the heart of Nashville and set off towards your first stop of the day. Just like during Prohibition, your destinations are kept a secret until before the start of your tour, but rest assured that you won't be disappointed.
Sit back and relax as your driver leads you between destinations, taking in scenic views of the rolling Tennessee hillsides. You can even bring your own alcohol on board the bus if you want to imbibe between stops.
Your stops during the tour may include:
- Corsair Distillery: An innovative and award-winning distillery offering experimental creations like quinoa whisky.
- H Clark Distillery: One of Tennessee's newest distilleries and Williamson County's first legal operation in more than a century.
- Nelson's Green Brier Distillery: A family-run distillery that reopened after being dormant for nearly 100 years.
- Nashville Craft Distillery: One of the newer distilleries in town with a very scientific approach to distillation.
- Short Mountain Distillery: Known for their moonshine, the farm's cave spring is said to have once been used to make the spirit that supplied Al Capone's speakeasies throughout the northeast.
- Leiper's Fork Distillery: One of the prettiest and most scenic distilleries around. The whisky isn't pretty darn good, too.
