THE BEST
DISTILLERY TOURS
IN NASHVILLE TN.

Nashville distillery tours don't all taste the same. Most walk you past the equipment. Ours put you on the floor with it — pulling drams straight from the barrel, picking a single barrel of award-winning whiskey, or blending your own bottle from the mashbill up. Nashville Barrel Company is the #1 most-reviewed whiskey experience in Nashville, ranked #4 nationally in Fred Minnick's blind tasting, and a Best in Class winner at the world's largest spirits competition. Two Nashville locations. Bourbon tours starting at $35. Walk-ins always welcome.

WHAT MAKES THESE
DISTILLERY TOURS DIFFERENT.

Most Nashville distillery tours walk you past the barrels. At NBC, you taste from them, pick them, and leave with a bottle from one.

🪵
Straight from the Barrel — Not a Bottle

Every pour on every tour comes directly from the barrel it aged in. Not a pre-opened bottle. Not a sample. The actual cask, opened for you. That's what cask-strength, non-chill-filtered whiskey tastes like — and you can taste the difference immediately.

🏆
Award-Winning Stock — Not Marketing Claims

NBC ranked #4 in Fred Minnick's national blind tasting and has won Best in Class at the world's largest spirits competition. The barrels you taste on tour are the same barrels producing those results. No other Nashville distillery tour can say that.

🤝
You Actually Do Something

Watching a guide fill a glass is not a distillery tour. At NBC, you pull the dram with the barrel thief. You pick the barrel. You blend the bottle. Every experience ends with you having made a decision about what you tasted — not just observed it.

"Best distillery tour in Nashville by a mile. We did the Single Barrel Experience and walked out with a bottle we genuinely picked ourselves. The guide knew every barrel by name."

"Did the bourbon tasting tour before a Ryman show — the downtown location is so easy to get to. No reservation, walked right in, had four incredible drams. This is the Nashville distillery tour to do."

"I've done distillery tours across Kentucky and Tennessee. NBC is the only one where I actually participated. Pulled my own dram. Picked my barrel. Took home a bottle with my name on it."
