Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery announced the forthcoming return of the Nelson Brothers Honey Cask Finish to its line of Nelson Brothers products. The whiskey will launch Saturday, May 27 at the Marathon Village distillery with a special event offering cocktails, food trucks and exclusive merchandise for purchase.

Nelson Brothers Honey Cask Finish is the result of Nelson’s Brothers barrels coated in TruBee Honey’s wildflower honey curated in Arrington, Tenn. The bourbon is added back to the honey-finished barrels for eight months to create one of the brand’s most celebrated products. At 107.2 proof in a 750 mL bottle, the spirit offers an aroma of wildflower, honeysuckle and peach with a layered finish of spearmint, cherry pie, black tea and honey.

This year, the distillery will donate a portion of the proceeds from the release to the Tennessee Beekeeper Association, which supports beekeepers across the state with educational grants, trainings and awards to promote modern, scientific beekeeping.

For $199, Nelson Brothers Honey Cask Finish will be available at 11 a.m. on May 27 at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery, located at 1414 Clinton St. Customers who arrive early to get in line for the opportunity to purchase the limited-time product will also have access to specialty cocktails and food trucks and can shop additional products from the distillery. Honey Cask is limited to one bottle per person.

In 2006, Andy and Charlie Nelson stumbled upon the discovery that their great-great-great grandfather, Charles Nelson, was the founder of Tennessee’s largest pre-Prohibition distillery and produced the original Tennessee Whiskey. The distillery’s history dates back to 1860 and in 2019, Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery bottled the first batch of Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey since 1909. The distilleryis open to the public seven days a week and offers guided tasting experiences as well as an event space and gift and bottle shop.
