    Beautiful building and plenty of close parking.
    Jim B.

    Directions: Very easy access off of Hwy 40 exit Lower Brownsville Road take it heading West for 1/2 mile business is on the left. Plenty of parking available close right up front. This was an amazing location to visit, even if you do not drink whiskey like my wife, because of the nostalgic wooden building that houses this business is incredible! There is no food served so bring your own and you can have a nice picnic out front or inside with plenty of seating. This was such a fun trip and the whiskey sampling was amazing! There was all types of flavors of whiskey including a chocolate caramel cream, that even my wife, who does not like the taste of alcohol, liked so much she actually purchased a bottle! I really enjoyed the standard types of whiskey along with the White Dog which is a moonshine that was so smooth it was a pleasure to drink. All the whiskeys and moonshines are made on site and we even took the $10 tour given by the owner which was very interesting and informative. He even gave some awesome stories and history about the past years of whiskey making. If you're looking for an off the beaten path, historical and fun trip you have to go to Samuel T. Bryant Distillery. I highly recommend it!

    The tour is interesting - definitely a small operation trying to break into the business, but friendly people and informative (willing to entertain all your questions) I'm a purist of sorts - all the flavors of moonshine are interesting, and good, but the Tennessee Sam whisky is where it's at. Smooth and pure and good. Just give me a shot of this and I'm good to go.

    This is what we purchased

    Such accommodating hosts that Sam swung by to open the distillery after they closed (15 min) to let us buy some of their cool products. They kept thanking us for coming by....NO thank you for hosting us on our travels!!! Great kind people creating a great product! We purchased the namesake Samuel T Bryant...Tennessee Sam whiskey and some after dinner sipping "cookies and cream" for later. Yumm! Nice grounds with beautiful huge oak trees that may have been here 100 years or more. Green apples on the trees and some sweet shrubs in bloom. Fabulous climate in mid May! Love the plants! We'll be back!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and Mr. Bryant. He allowed us to boondock after pulling in around 8 because I wasn't able to connect on the Harvest Host App. It was beautiful and quiet and we slept like a log. Woke up the next morning and enjoyed the beauty while having a cup of coffee and then headed inside when they opened to sample and stock up on their wonderful liquor. Enjoyed speaking with Mr. Bryant. We came here Oct. 2020 and we're so glad to get to come back and enjoy the beauty and their specialties. We will definitely come again.

    Ambiance was excellent and the service was great! They were so kind and it was a good time. Recommend the "Rectifier" bourbon. Among one of the best.

    Enjoyed a drink on the shady porch (or is it a patio?) in front of the Bryant Distillery.

    Nice distillery offering a selection of distilled products, located just a half-mile off I-40. The staff was friendly and helpful. Guests can enjoy a free tasting of four products in the tasting room. The place also serves mixed drinks. The interior is clean and spacious (but a few more shady seats outdoors would be nice).

    Driving from Nashville to Memphis we saw the sign for this distillery and decided to check it out, because who doesn't love a lil early afternoon moonshine? The grounds and building are very beautiful and charming. We had the pleasure of meeting Samuel and got to chat with him and try some of his fabulous moonshine. My favorites were the strawberry and coconut. We even got to tour the distillery with Samuels father. I've tried other moonshine, but so far this is my favorite. tip- strawberry moonshine with lemonade made the best summertime drink! Make sure you load up when you are there because it goes fast!

    My sister was very insistent that we go to Samuel T. Bryant Distillery. "He went to church with us! I know him from youth group. How do you not remember him?" she quipped. "I am sorry, the name sounds familiar... I guess?" my reply. I would never in a million years that Jackson would have a distillery, let alone a really amazing one. I came here blindly not knowing what to expect. I wasn't necessarily thinking one way or the other, but Jackson isn't known for too much. Maybe we are known for founders of Hard Rock Cafe and Waffle House being from here or maybe that Pringles potato chips are made here. Possibly rockabilly, too? Well, to my amazement - Jackson now can also be known for STB distillery. A group of 4 of us came. We tried their free tastings and ended up purchasing around $180 worth of product. The highlights were hands down moonshine (we got coconut and blueberry), their whisky (Tennessee Hills), and their TNKilla (tequila). Their moonshine was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! Sam (the owner) and his father, Mr. Bryant, were very gracious in taking the time to talk to us and explain to us everything on how the produce their product and how the distillery came to be. We even got to view where he makes the product. Sam is a leisure winemaker, but doesn't distribute. He had some experience in the alcohol business before opening the distillery up. *Despite growing up with Sam's family and my family in our same church, I really didn't know the gentleman. My sister is 8 years older than I am and they were in a different group of folks than myself. I only write this because I want it to be made known despite my wonderful experience here, this review should NOT be reflected as me writing something for a family friend. I genuinely loved the product and having the opportunity to experience this. Plus, with growing up in Jackson and with my family being the social people that they are - it is 6 degrees of separation in knowing one another!* It was super fun to come here and would advise anyone driving between Memphis and Nashville looking for a good boozy stop along the way to take the time and check out Samuel T. Bryant's distillery!

    We had a wonderful, fun time here! They are so friendly and taught us so much. We could not help ourselves ... we just had to buy a lot of their amazing moonshines for Christmas gifts and, of course, some for ourselves! I think everyone will totally enjoy this discovery!

    We found the Samuel T. Bryant Distillery via Boondockers Welcome and were able to reserve an overnight stay. We arrived in plenty of time for Mr. Pete to give a tour and the run down of how they create their dee-lish products. We relaxed in the event hall and enjoyed cocktails and conversations with our fellow RVers. The place is dog friendly too and you won't meet nicer folks. For RVers, the place is a short and easy drive off I 40.

    Great whisky and moonshines. Sam and Pete were fantastic to chat with and taste the different flavors of Moonshines. The whisky is smooth as well. We were so happy we made this stop on our trip. Totally recommend a stop by here.

    Their Peach Moonshine is amazing. We stopped by right before they closed and they were very welcoming.

    Disappointing Three…read moreyears ago we happened upon this B&B the location is just lovely and the previous owners dream. We enjoyed it so much we thought one day we would love to bring our family. Now during this pandemic we thought this would be perfect and booked all 3 suites thinking this would ensure a peaceful retreat. Unfortunately sad to say the new management has not maintained this gem. In addition to many unkept areas and uncleanliness my grandson along with two of my adult children were severely covered in bed bug bites. My conscience will not allow me not to give this warning especially after finding dead and live bugs along with evidence of possible previous treatments. We actually gave them to the manager and she didn't even want to go into the rooms. It was really hard to believe this issue was not known to them. I really hope they can turn this place around, so others don't have to experience this!

    Bed bugs! I didn't know that B&B stood for bed bugs. Even…read morethough this was the dirtiest place we have ever stayed in, we could almost look past the mouse droppings and other debris but bed bugs, nope. Not a chance especially when we brought it to the owner Lori's attention and all she could do was try to argue that the three bugs, two that were actually live which we provided for her anyhow, with hardly a reaction she claimed they were ticks even though our son has dozens of bites which since yesterday 7/16 was confirmed to be just that, bed bug bites. Two other adults are also covered in bites. I would run as far as possible. Lori didn't offer any sympathy or solution. It's a-shame, I've heard this property was a gem once upon a time.

    We have been to numerous Holiday Inns Express by Hilton all across this country and enjoyed them…read more But this one feels NOTHING like the ones we have stayed at. From the front desk trying to sell a room for MORE than it is listed, to the nasty stuff in the window a/c vent. And let's not forget the large colony of mold in the bathroom shower that only had two washcloths for their complement of towel offerings. Want to use the sofa bed for your child to sleep on? Prepare to find a candy wrapper folded in it and no sheets anywhere in the room to be found. Now, call and ask the front desk for sheets, only to be told to come down and get them because she was the only one working. Yeah. From the quality of the cleaning to the "Come n get it" attitude, you can see why I was wondering if this was actually an outdated Motel 6 cosplaying as a Holiday Inn Express by Hilton that we were accustomed to. Disappointed and disgusted to be paying $160 for 1 night in this mold farm. You are welcome to experience the 90s era speed internet yourself and write a review from room 300. Holiday Inn Express by Hilton has disappointed us with this location. I half expect the wind to blow the Holiday Inn Express by Hilton sign off revealing a Motel 6. Update: 3/29/2025 7:00pm 3rd floor: A gaggle of loud kids are running around on the 3rd floor and up the down the stairway. Called the front desk, was told she was busy with a line of people, understandable, and would deal with it later. 11 pm later and they were still running around talking loudly. I suspect it was a baseball team of little league. ONE person works at this Holiday Inn Express in Jackson, TN in the evening? Dear H.I.E. by Hilton, I want my money back for this nights stay in this disgustingly filthy hotel room...

We were disgusted with our room and I called front desk immediately. Mold in bathrooms and showers, cracked tile everywhere. Took lots of pics and showed them. They moved us to another one and it was equally as bad. The hotel is filthy. Trash even in elevators. Carpet everywhere is filthy and stained. We ended up leaving and moving to another hotel. The last straw was pulling back sheets on the second room they gave us and saw a bed of crumbs!!! Just NO. Corporate needs to see this place as we've stayed at Holiday Inns for over 30 years. This was so bad we will not be staying at another one ever.
