Join me as I talk with one half of the brother team that returned their great, great, great grandfather's distillery to prominence. Andy Nelson is the Head Distiller at Nelson's Green Brier Distillery and this is the story of how they overcame money issues, youth, inexperience, a recession, and an old Tennessee Prohibition on distilling to get their family legacy restored.
Join Matt and Mark this week as they talk with their guest, Charlie Nelson, Co-Founder of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery in Nashville, Tennessee, the home of Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey (the Original Tennessee Whiskey) and Belle Meade Bourbon, about re-starting a business originally founded by his great-great-great grandfather in the 1800's, the joys (and struggles) of running a business with his brother, Andy, and all the great things Nelson's is doing for Nashville and their community. They also share pours with Charlie of Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey, Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve, and the brand new Belle Meade Honey and get his insights on each one.
