Nearest Green Distillery

About Us

Nearest Green Distillery is the world's first distillery to commemorate the godfather of Tennessee Whiskey, Nearest Green. Dubbed "Malt Disney World," and named by Travel + Leisure as a "true whiskey destination," the 323-acre property has become known as a full-blown destination for whiskey lovers, history enthusiasts, and families. It is a master class in storytelling and history-making, paying tribute to the three things Tennessee is most known for Tennessee Whiskey, Tennessee walking horses, and Tennessee music. At Nearest Green Distillery, visitors can purchase Uncle Nearest's flagship whiskeys and exclusive bottles such as the award-winning Uncle Nearest Master Blender Edition Whiskey and Uncle Nearest Uncut and Unfiltered Straight Rye Whiskey. In addition to world-class attractions such as the Welcome Center and Philo + Frank's, the world's first nonalcoholic speakeasy, guests can indulge in award-winning BBQ at Chuck's Barrel House BBQ II, or enjoy drinks, food, and music at Humble Baron, the world's largest bar, opening March 2023.

What a great experience!! We came down to celebrate my 60th birthday. Our tour guide, Terrell was awesome. Not only did he take pride in the distillery, he also took pride in his town of Shelbyville. We are planning another trip this year. Can’t wait!

Took a tour of the Nearest Green distillery in April and had an amazing time with Julie who was informative, very engaging, and absolutely welcoming. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in the Nashville area looking for something fun to do, have a bit of a history tour, and to sip some fine whiskey.

I recently visited Nearest Green Distillery, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! My tour guide, Terrell, was exceptional, combining in-depth knowledge with a genuine passion for whiskey. He took the time to answer every question with enthusiasm. The tour was not only informative but also engaging, as they shared fascinating stories about the history of Nearest Green and his significance to whiskey. Whether you're a whiskey connoisseur or just curious, I highly recommend this tour for a memorable and educational experience! The two ladies from Michigan also added some flavor to my experience

An amazing experience! Very historic. Of you just so happen to get Terrell as your tour guide, he does not disappoint! Absolutely the goat. The whole compound is beautiful to look at. Got my hands on a bottle of Master Blend. It's the only place on EARTH you can get it.
