A quick stop from downtown Nashville to Marathon Village takes visitors back in time as they step foot inside Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery. Digging into the past didn’t turn up skeletons and scandals for brothers Andy and Charlie Nelson; more like sour mash and stills. After discovering their triple great grandfather was one of the most successful whiskey distillers in pre-prohibition America, the brothers vowed to revive the since-forgotten family business. After undergoing a major renovation in 2023, Nelson’s Green Brier distillery offers guided walking tours and tastings daily, whiskey flights and craft cocktails as well as a full restaurant, bar and mercantile shop. Rent their multiple event spaces for unforgettable functions of any size and style.
