Belle Meade Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey

This cognac finished Belle Meade Bourbon is made from a mashbill of 64% corn, 30% rye, and 6% malted barley. Once the grains are milled and mashed, they are fermented with two unique strains of yeast. The two yeast strains work together to create a balanced flavor, not going too heavy or too light on any single characteristic. Following fermentation, the bourbon is distilled and matured in new, American oak casks before being finished in French Limousine oak barrels which once held Cognac XO Fine Champagne for up to 12 years.

Distillery Information

When Charles Nelson opened a grocery store in Nashville, TN that sold high quality whiskey and with flourishing sales, he quickly realized that the demand for his product far exceeded his supply, so he bought the distillery that was making his whiskey in Greenbrier, TN, and a patent for improved distillation. The distillery became a favorite stop of federal regulators and tax inspectors due to the warmth and hospitality shown to them by Charles and his employees. By introducing the category of Tennessee Whiskey to the world and offering a superior product, Charles Nelson had indeed become a household name but after decades of great struggle and brilliant triumph, Charles Nelson passed away on December 13, 1891. After three years of research, planning and hard work, Charles Nelson’s grandsons, Andy and Charlie Nelson, re-formed the business that had closed exactly 100 years earlier in 1909 during Prohibition. With the spirit in their blood, Charlie and Andy followed their hearts, devoting their lives to resurrecting Nelson’s Green Brier Whiskey and producing top-quality product, appreciated by aficionados everywhere.
