Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee whiskey has a long history, and it brings a smooth taste with plenty of character. Distillers set it apart with an extra charcoal filtering step, which mellows the spirit before it ages.
Today, Tennessee whiskey blends tradition with creativity. Distillery tours show how those time-honored methods shape what’s in your glass.
Big Machine Distillery Tours
Big Machine Distillery offers two Tennessee guided tours, each with its own feel and setting. On both tours, you’ll explore curated spirits, learn how they’re made, and enjoy a fun, easy tasting experience.
You can choose a quieter setting or a lively city stop, and either tour helps you discover Tennessee craft spirits.
