Hailing from Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery in Nashville, Tennessee, Belle Meade Bourbon is an exciting new addition to the Missouri market. The Nelson brothers resurrected their triple-great-grandfather’s brand in 2009, a century after shutting down because of Prohibition. Steeped in history and flavor, the full-bodied spirit has distinct creme brulee notes at first taste, followed by robust cinnamon, clove, allspice and black walnut, finished with spiced dried orange.
