The rich history of Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery dates back to 1860 when its founder, Charles Nelson, unveiled a product called Tennessee Whiskey. Nelson’s Green Brier spent nearly 40 years as the premier purveyor of whiskey and spirits in the US. At its peak, Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery produced 380,000 gallons (about 2 million bottles) of rye whiskey, bourbon, corn whiskey, and other products per year. This was more than 15 times the production capacity of its average competitor.
The distillery closed in 1909, when Prohibition became Tennessee state law; a decade before it was enacted nationwide. A century later, Nelson’s great-great-great grandsons, Andy and Charlie Nelson, revived the family business after stumbling upon a historical marker touting the remarkable life and work of their long gone ancestor. Everything in the brothers’ eyes was aimed at resurrecting “The Original Tennessee Whiskey.”
Their dream came true in 2019, when bottles of Nelson’s Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey went on sale in Nashville for the first time since 1909. Their efforts meticulously recreating the original 1860 recipe and process paid off. “The Original Tennessee Whiskey” has won countless awards and is now available nationwide and in select international markets.
After Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery was acquired by wine and spirits powerhouse, Constellation Brands, the company launched a new line of whiskies to honor Andy and Charlie’s contributions to the business. The Nelson Brothers premium line of bourbons, ryes and highly sought after cask finished whiskies continue to rack up prestigious medals and awards each year.
