    Had such a great time at the spirits tasting with Patrick! He was super knowledgeable without being intimidating, and made the whole experience fun and approachableGreat energy, great pacing, and the perfect mix of education and enjoyment. Highly recommend if you're even a little whiskey-curious -- Patrick really knows his stuff and makes everyone feel welcome.

    Old timey corner shop with a full tasting of whiskey, unique moonshines and bourbon. Definitely try the agave spirit!

    Happy Mother's Day to ME! I got to spend my afternoon at a tasting at Tennessee Legend Distillery!! Cody was our spirit guide and he was amazing! We all shared life stories, liquor stories and food stories! We received a wonderful friendly welcome and a delicious tour through the whiskey, bourbon and moonshine the distillery offers. Add to that the well priced merchandise and clean bathrooms and you get the perfect visit! Our favorites were the Kingsnake and the Agavesaurus Rex, both just as smooth as ever and so easy to drink! Hubby had a delicious old fashioned and I had a special request Mexican Martini, nicknamed Custody Battle, that was perfection in a glass! Loved the jalapeno garlic olives! I highly recommend a visit to Tennessee Legend Distillery and look forward to visiting again!

    The drinks and whiskey are amazing. They definitely have some bourbons and ryes that exceed 100 proof. They do tastings but they have cocktails as well. I had the bramble and it was so good. One of my favorite cocktails since coming to Tennessee. The bartender is amazing too.

    Cody TCB!

    Cody is the man! The Dutch Bros and I came in on a Thursday afternoon, and we had he and the place to ourselves. I wasn't expecting too much from the whiskey because I don't do flavored drinks. Surprisingly, they made a believer out of me! All the flavored ones have actual flavors, which aren't weak or overpowering. Had to buy a bottle to take back to Texas. Great corner location, in the middle of town. Inside a great building. If I ever find myself in Cookeville again, I'll call to see if Cody is there.

    Cody was awesome! I am flying out today and wanted to take a bottle home. I'm not able to take it with my carry on, but there's a store at the airport so before I go, I'm grabbing a bottle of Peanut Butter Cup!

    Not what I was expecting no food but you can have food delivered. They have tasting which was fun with the server who had a lot of knowledge. Small lounge area lots of unique whiskey options to try and buy. Also a small store with souvenir, type items, candles, and such.

    Love this!

    This was a nice recommendation from a friend as I partake in whiskey quite often. The distillery was small but comfy, very clean, and the sommelier was very nice and knowledgeable. I tried samples of the creams and whiskies and fell in love with the smoked apple whiskey and wedding bells cream liqueur. So smooth, I can drink both neat or on the rocks! The smoked apple is sweet but nothing like Jim Bean apple or Jack Daniels apple; just the right amount of twang and candied glacé. The finish was smokey, mellow, and smooth! No burn! The wedding bells cream liqueur was a french vanilla wedding cake cream based whiskey. So delectable, so magnificent, so delicate... I'd drink it straight on ice like a refined cake liquidfied. The French vanilla bean coats your tastebuds like a silk robe on warm Summer's night. It's so heavenly! The server gave me a discount because I was wearing a mask so kudos to this place for thinking about it's customers... If I ever visit Cookeville, TN again, I'll definitely stop by here again!

    I've walked in and looked around Tennessee Legend Distillery quite a few times and really liked the atmosphere. I brought my friends in to do some tasting and we really enjoyed it! Patrick was our spirit guide and he showed us some amazing combinations and he is very knowledgeable about all of the products! My personal favorite was the coffee whiskey with salted caramel whiskey and crème brûlée liqueur. Aside from the amazing service and tasting, it's a nice little hangout spot with board games and lounging areas. There's cocktails and mock tails and various other options in the selection. The shop is full of awesome items, liquor, trinkets, and games! All around great experience and I will certainly be back!

    Wonderful experience and education! I purchased several bottles of Bourbon as gifts. I have the feeling some of those bottles will not reach their intended destination and will end up in mu personal collection!

They said although they were just down the street, he could only get it from a vendor. It was disappointing because we had drove an hour out of our way, looking forward to the tasting room. I at least would like to purchase the 110 and maybe apple pie online, but I cannot seem to find anywhere online to purchase as well. My review is based on not being open when the door states they will be, and inaccurate info on the website. I wish I'd been able to sample as I'm sure I would have enjoyed it.

    There are very few distilleries in this area of Kentucky - this may be the only one. So it might be…read moreworth a stop. Parking lot was deserted when I arrived and I had the undivided attention of the bartender who gave me a lot of info about the place. It's a relatively new distillery. It has to be because this backward county didn't legalize alcohol sale and manufacture until 2016! Believe it or not. And it's a fairly large scale operation judging by the size of the tanks. I tried a flight of 4 or 5 whiskies, bourbons, and a moonshine. The pours were adequate, neither too small nor too big. Honestly, none of them were great but they were all acceptable except the moonshine. Moonshine in my opinion is just unfinished whiskey, suitable only as a gift to bring home to Northerners for their amusement. And ridiculous concoctions like peanut butter whisky - artificially flavored. It tastes as weird as it sounds - avoid! My rating is based more on the overall experience than the actual whiskies. I enjoyed talking with the bartender, then taking my flight off to a table and relaxing for a while in the quiet and out of the heat. I bought a couple of airplane-size bottles and a cool tee shirt. And there was a cat.

    OUTSTANDING!!!!!…read more Let's just start right there. We are visiting from Virginia, a friend who recently moved to the area. They had heard good things about SKD but hadn't visited or sampled their products. But today was the day. Let me touch on the tour - wow. The tour was expected to be about an hour but we stayed at least two, maybe a bit more. Our guide - Luther, is a hell of a nice fella. Taught us a lot. He told us how he's been friends with several of the other since school days and you can tell he really loves this place. This post would be too long to go over every great thing about the tour and sampling - so go and see for yourself. The products: Folks I'm not a big drinker. But I will say this. I came out buying, a bottle of their Vodka, two bottles of bourbon, and two bottles of flavored shine. I will also say I love each and every shine flavor and it was hard to choose just two. The location: new, very clean, and great looking. Inside and out. Lastly the staff: Again Luther was a great fella. The counter girls were crazy friendly and nice and then the owner Junior was just so nice and personable. Folks come here, bring your friends, and have a great time. We absolutely will be back when we return to the area. Hoping to catch a night when they have something going on like music outside.

Upon approach, the property itself is visible from the highway and was impressive, almost to the point of breathtaking. Justing seeing this was simple reminder on why doing this tour was a must for me. The welcome center was just that, welcoming! It was clean, modern and displayed history of Nearest Green's lineage, facts about the art of distilling, along with display cases filled with tools from the original distillery/farm. There was also a display case for their world-renowned Uncle Nearest Tennessee Whiskey. All the staff I encountered were kind and welcoming. The tour guide for my tour was Terrell Johnson and he was phenomenal! It was obvious from the beginning, that he thoroughly enjoys his job; he was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. He shared that he's been at the distillery for the past 5 years and has received lots of recognition for outstanding work as a tour guide. The entire property exceeds 450 acres which is massive. That said, the tour only covered a small portion of the property. We did see one of the barrel houses which actually contained barrels of whiskey that were in the aging process. We were also able to see the onsite bottling area which was in operation at the time. Because it was staffed and operational, pictures and video were not allowed. Towards the end of the tour we did a tasting which was included with the tour. During this time, we also got to label our own bottle of Uncle Nearest 1856 to take home with us. Terrell encouraged us to do something unique with the label to ensure it stood out from the bottles that can be purchased at most liquor stores. After completing the tasting, we went back to the welcome enter which and the opportunity to peruse the store which contained numerous Uncle Nearest branded merchandise as well as numerous bottles of the various types of Uncle Nearest whiskey. The unique part about this is they have a few that can only be purchased there which was a nice treat. Lastly, their bar, Humble Baron, is located at the rear of the welcome center space. Unfortunately, I went on a Thursday afternoon and the bar is only open on the weekend. Needless to say, I will make a return visit just experience a pour or two in their bar. Overall, I am pleased with the tour experience and would participate again. was a good experience. As someone who has been supportive of the brand and the Nearest Green story, I hope they quickly resolve their current issues so the focus can return the Nearest Green story and his legacy can continue to live and grow.

His distillery is about an hour and a half from Nashville. Once you're out of the city, it's a beautiful drive, but there is not much between the two. Except of course, Uncle Nearest. We'll get back to that in another review. I don't know what I was expecting, but this place definitely exceeded my expectations. They have a pretty largely laid out property. We parked across the street and a lot and had to walk over and bus back. Walking in. We were slightly early for the next tour time, so we went to there establishment aptly named Happy Hour, and pre-gamed. One thing you can learn in the lobby is that Jack Daniels was not a tall man. In fact, he was quite short, though it would seem that his presence exceeded his physical height greatly. The tour started us on a bus driving us to the top of a hill close to one of their warehouses and we walked our way down to see parts of the property before we got into some more buildings. Our guide, Danna, was excellent! A former navy instructor, she was both incredibly knowledgeable about the business and very passionate about working their and teaching the history of the distillery. On the way down we had a stop at a drink trailer. And had our tour beverages. We also got to see some of what they were doing out there making charcoal for their distilling process. As we moseyed along further, drinks in hand, we learned about the history. We passed by a really old fire brigade station. And landed in a cabin that had a lot of interesting pictures in it and quite a bit of history. I won't go word for word in my review, then you would have no reason to visit. I'll just add some tidbits as we go. Unbeknownst to myself and my companions, Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniels are very closely related. In fact, Jack's first master distiller was Nathan "Nearest" Green, and Jack Daniel distillery has continuously employed members of the nearest family ever since. Their relationship was not only unique, but that Bond has not broken since this distillery was put in place. Very cool things I did not know, and there's plenty more of that. If you go on the tour. Treat yoself to some knowledge. We then wandered through the distilling area, and barrel House. Our tour ended at The tasting area, where we got to try a number of things. Now. Jack Daniels, like Uncle nearest, is in a dry county and they can't serve things outright. So they have to come up with ways to do it and stay within the laws. So you might notice in my pictures that the tastings have just a wee bit in each glass. If you want more, you'll have to go to the bottle shop. And if you want to buy a barrel, or anything else, you have to go to the hardware shop. When you go on the tour you'll understand what that means and why it's important. At the conclusion of the tour, you can go to the happy hour bar, the bottle shop, or the hardware store. There's a shuttle to take you wherever you want to go on the property or back to your parking spot. It's a very interesting and enlightening tour. We weren't aware how much history was here and all the things we didn't know yet. Very cool tour. Highly recommend going!

There are so many good ones on the menu that fit any type of pallet, that it took me so long to decide. I got a modified old fashioned and then there was a martini-like drink that I tried. Both really packed a punch, luckily we were walking to our next destination. In the store they seemed to have a flash-sale going on for one of the bourbons. It was normally around $75 or something and I got it for $45. I am sure that's not normal but it really made the selection even better, because the wall of whiskey/bourbon is also really tough to choose what you want!
