Nelson’s Green Brier sources the liquid for their Belle Meade Bourbon from Indiana, and now the ageing process is completed in Nashville. Each batch is a proprietary four-barrel blend with a 30% rye content. The rye shows itself on the finish, bringing earth tones and length alongside a red pepper flake spiciness. The palate is juicier, tasting of ripe nectarines, vanilla and butterscotch.

A great all-around whiskey for sipping or cocktailing. Balanced between sweet (a la Makers Mark) and savory (a la Knob Creek).

It ain’t all about wine. Bourbon warms the soul.🥃. Being from Nashville this one holds a special place in my heart. This one is second only to the one they made in cognac barrels.

Very interesting- starts out like a deeply flavored bourbon, finishes with spicy rye notes.

On the finesse end of the bourbon spectrum. Decent complexity, no complaints.
