Major Awards
Nashville Barrel Company was named Tennessee Blender of the Year — recognizing the team's exceptional work in sourcing, selecting, and finishing whiskey barrels to create some of Tennessee's most distinctive single barrel releases. This distinction reflects not just individual bottles but a consistent standard of quality across the entire NBC portfolio.
NBC earned Best in Class at the world's largest spirits competition — the same competition that judges entries from every major Kentucky distillery, international spirits brand, and craft producer. Winning Best in Class at that scale isn't a participation award. It's the highest designation a spirits entry can receive and places NBC's releases in company with the most awarded spirits in the world.
Whiskey journalist and author Fred Minnick named NBC's Cask Strength Bourbon in his Top #4 nationally for 2023 — and subsequently collaborated with NBC on the Club Marzipan barrel picks (7yr rye #10077 and 8yr bourbon #9009). When one of whiskey's most respected critics not only ranks your bottles but comes back to pick barrels with you, that's the strongest possible endorsement.
