had this to say:
Xavier was our tour guide and was very helpful and informative. The tour gives a lot of history of Uncle Nearest and how he became a Master Distiller including his work with Jack Daniels. The facility is beautiful and well worth the trip.

had this to say:
Nearest Green Distillery exceeded my expectations. The tour was engaging and rich with history, but the highlight for me was the whiskey — especially the Single Barrel. Perfect balance of oak, spice, and sweetness, with a smooth finish that really stands out. You can taste the craftsmanship in every sip. I’ll definitely be back.
