Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, TN, is the world’s first distillery dedicated to honoring Nathan “Nearest” Green, the godfather of Tennessee Whiskey.

The distillery celebrates the heritage of Tennessee through its tribute to three state icons—Tennessee Whiskey, Tennessee walking horses, and Tennessee music. Guests can explore attractions like the Welcome Center and Philo + Frank’s, the world’s first nonalcoholic speakeasy, enjoy award-winning barbecue at Chuck’s Barrel House BBQ II, and experience food, drinks, and live entertainment at Humble Baron, the world’s largest bar.
