Belle Meade Distillery is located in Nashville, Tennessee, and has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Originally founded in 1820 as a plantation, the distillery began producing bourbon in the late 1800s. Following various changes in ownership and a period of closure, it was revived in 2012 by the Nelson family, who sought to honor the legacy of the original distillery while incorporating modern production techniques. The distillery boasts a production capacity of approximately 10,000 barrels per year. Belle Meade utilizes traditional copper pot stills and a unique blend of grains to create its whiskies. The bourbon produced here is characterized by a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, complemented by a subtle spice. Belle Meade's expressions, such as the Classic Bourbon and the Cask Strength Bourbon, are well-regarded among enthusiasts and showcase the distillery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
