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.
