TN Moonshine Tours, Brentwood

There's nothing illicit about the spirits available for tasting on one of TN Moonshine Tours' honky-tonk. Instead of sniffing around a claptrap vat full of hooch in the woods, you'll tour above-board facilities such as Nelson's Green Brier restaurants and Corsair Artisan photo opportunity sites. There, you'll see gleaming copper stills in which small-batch white whiskeys are fermenting, and aisles of rye and bourbon—even gin—aging in floor-to-ceiling oak barrels.

Groups can pick their own stops in and around the Nashville area, or let TN Moonshine Tours do the dirty work. Either way, parties are picked up by 11AM, and safely ferried from tasting to tasting.
