    We took a weekend girl's trip to Nashville and decided to drive to Uncle Nearest to do the tour. The distillery is located in Shelbyville, TN which is an hour or so drive from Nashville depending on the traffic. We arrived early to have lunch at the Barrel House before we did our tour. The BBQ was delicious and the service was great. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming to us. We had Terrell as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and funny which made for a great tour. We all enjoyed him as our guide. At the end of our tour, we were able to meet the CEO Fawn Weaver. She is absolutely beautiful and she welcomed and greeted every guest with a hug. Meeting her was a pleasant surprise.

    I could get used to this.

    We had the absolutely pleasure of doing the Single Barrel Whiskey Thief Tour and Tasting with Julie on Aug 15. If you have the ability, get on a tour with Julie! Her knowledge is endless. Her enthusiasm for whiskey in general and TN whiskey in particular is infectious. She's humorous and engaging whether you're a whiskey novice or a brown spirits savant. She taught us so much about tasting whiskey and the techniques - everyone had an amazing time. I would definitely go back and do a different tour with her. The fantastic whiskeys we tasted helped too. Thank you, Julie!

    The experience & tour was both educational and phenomenal. Our tour guide was Karen and she was awesome!!! I loved the historical background of how Uncle Nearest evolved throughout the years and how the future plans the current owner is taking the brand. The tasting room and samples were out of this world. The shop was stocked with whiskey all the way up to the ceiling. The Tennessee Whiskey gourmet popcorn left me speechless that when I got home I ordered a case of 25 bags. All in all a very successful day except for the weather, but we can't control Mother Nature.

    We had a group of 7-8 couples go to Uncle Nearest for a tour and sampling. The grounds are an old walking horse farm and are very well maintained and beautiful to walk. I'm not a big whisky drinker, but enjoyed sampling the Uncle Nearest whiskeys and learning how to properly taste them to get the full flavors. Our taste-testing guide was Julie and she was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience very memorable. I highly recommend this tour and whiskey sampling and ask for Julie!

    The whiskey tasting at the end was held in a small room which allowed for relaxed conversation and Q&A with Brent.

    We just moved to the Nashville area and one of the very first restaurants we wanted to try was…read moreTennFold Brewing. We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. There were fans blowing which was nice for a hot day. The patio is completely shaded and there are lots of seats both inside and out. Jaime was our waitress and she was outstanding! She made us feel welcome and was attentive throughout our meal. One of my favorite things waiters do is bring out another drink before the first one is done. Those waiters are a dime a dozen and Jaime came back with a refill when my first cup was half full. My husband ordered a pizza and I ordered the blueberry chicken sandwich. I think that was the first time in my entire life that I ordered a sandwich at a restaurant and holy moly, am I glad that was my first! The bread was crispy on the outside and had a nice sponginess on the inside. The pesto and blueberry combination was so delicious and unique. My husband's pizza was really good, too. He kept stealing my fries (rightfully so, I could order an entire bowl of those by themselves). The sweet tea was comforting and my husband's IPA was smooth (I had taken a pain reliever prior to lunch so I only had a small sip). I want to come back for drinks on the patio again because his beer tasted great. TennFold Brewing is awesome and was definitely the best choice for our first few days in our new home state. We will be back for more delicious food and drinks!

    The patio! We love hanging out on the patio. The pizza here has flavorful crust, and there are…read moretraditional and adventurous selections. Our last visit we had the Korean BBQ and the Smoke Show (seasonal). We did not love the Cauliflower Wings. Our group agreed, there needs to be crunch and char vs. lightly cooked with a sauce. The ingredients are fresh and they update the menu every few months. The staff is helpful when picking out a beer. It's typically busy, but service has been good every time we have been. One of the managers stopped to talk to us, which I really appreciated.

They give you paper bags for single items and a box for additional purchases. It's a liquor store. Do you need to support the bag from the bottom? Yes. Has the credit card processing machine stopped working? Also, yes. Do I take it out on the staff? No. They can't control that nor do they want to cause you frustration. They move me to a different register. They have cigars but do they have every.single.cigar.known.to.man? No. But they have a decent selection and always have Fuente torpedo's in stock. Their weekend bourbon specials are hard to beat! They are the only liquor store I have found that sells popular bottles. Weekend items include green Weller, Eagle Rare and Elmer T Lee. Old Fort Liquor sells these rare bottles drastically cheaper than their competitors. The staff is helpful and have gone out of their way to find rare bottles for me. They have a great selection of liquor and beer items with some hidden gems behind the counter.

This Volcan reposado is a fairly inexpensive one (about $60) that I've been wanting to try out. I'm also a bourbon fan and this was recommended for people who like bourbon as well. I can't wait to give it a try.
