Best Distillery in Nashville 2026: Nashville Barrel Company
I’ve never cared much about where the chemical reaction that converts grains and yeast into alcohol in my favorite spirits actually takes place. To me, the magic of the distilling process is what comes next — aging the spirits in barrels, choosing the right moment to free them from the oak and blending them to create a final product that is better than the sum of its parts. Taking advantage of the glut of excellent spirits available for purchase in large quantities from larger producers, Nashville Barrel Company makes them even better as they select, age, finish and blend some of the best award-winning whiskeys you can find anywhere. With two locations in Nashville and one in Louisville, NBC is at the heart of the whiskey renaissance.
