We were taken to three different distilleries in the Nashville area and to be honest, I was floored by the quality (and quantity, lol) of the spirits we got to sample. The history of booze in the state was pretty interesting also. The best part was having someone else do the driving so you can really enjoy the company and spirits. Will definitely do it again.”
