Whiskey, Flavor, and Southern Hospitality at Green Brier Distillery – A Memorable Nashville Experience

If you’re in Nashville and want a taste of real Tennessee heritage—along with some incredible food and whiskey—look no further than Green Brier Distillery. My visit there was nothing short of amazing, blending history, craftsmanship, and Southern hospitality into one unforgettable afternoon.

The Whiskey Tour: A Journey Through Tennessee Tradition

The experience kicked off with a whiskey tour that was both educational and fun. We got an in-depth look at the history of Tennessee whiskey, the legacy of the Green Brier name, and the process that makes their spirits so unique.

From the grain to the glass, every step was explained with passion and authenticity. But the real highlight? The tasting.We sampled a variety of whiskey expressions—each with its own character and bold flavor profile. Whether you're a seasoned whiskey fan or just curious, there's something for everyone.

Bonus: We were even taught proper whiskey tasting etiquette, which made the experience feel extra refined (and made us look like pros!).

Lunch at the Distillery: Flavorful, Filling, and Fun

After the tour, we made our way to the dining area, ready to soak in the rest of the experience—and trust me, the food did not disappoint.

We were greeted with a giant pretzel, served warm and soft with classic dipping sauces—perfect for snacking while we settled in. Alongside it, we enjoyed a cold draft beer, setting the tone for a laid-back, satisfying lunch.

🌶️ Appetizers: Hot Wings & Poutine Fries

Next came the appetizers: hot wings—crispy, spicy, and full of flavor—and the crowd favorite, poutine fries. Topped with gravy and cheese curds, the poutine was rich, indulgent, and absolutely addictive. These two appetizers alone were worth the visit.

🍔🥩 Main Course: Steak Frites & Burger with Fries

For the main course, we went classic. The steak frites were a standout—perfectly cooked steak paired with golden, crispy fries. Simple, but done right. We also ordered the burger and fries, and it was everything a burger should be: juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right.

Portions were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and everything was served with a smile.
