Leiper's Fork Distillery is a cozy and peaceful retreat situated on a spacious property with a flat lawn and woods. The distillery features a log cabin entrance with rocking chairs, leading to a charming interior filled with wooden vats and whiskey barrels. Guests can enjoy a tour, guided by knowledgeable staff, which takes them through the distillery production process and ends in a beautifully preserved historic 200-year-old tasting room.
The distillery is known for its whiskey and bourbon, including the Freedom brand which supports wounded warriors. Head Distiller Kendra Anderson is recognized for her phenomenal work, honoring the deep flavors of pre-Prohibition Tennessee whiskey. Visitors will receive a warm welcome, and the pleasant atmosphere and clean restrooms make for a great experience.
The distillery offers various items for purchase in the store, and while reservations are recommended, the outdoor area with benches and lawn chairs creates a chill and relaxing vibe. Guests can enjoy live music and take pictures in the gorgeous scenery. The tasting experience, guided by the engaging tour guide Sir Paul, is unique and educational, with a focus on identifying the undertones of the whiskey and bourbon.
Overall, Leiper's Fork Distillery is a highly recommended destination for those who appreciate quality whiskey and a welcoming environment, just a short 40-minute drive from Nashville.
