See How True Tennessee Whiskey Is Made When You Tour The Pennington Distillery In Tennessee

Tennessee whiskey has, very fairly, become something of a legend. You’ve seen it at your favorite bar, you’ve heard about it in country songs, and you most likely have a favorite whether you know it or not. Tennessee has actually been the leading producer of distilled spirits for years, even before the Civil War. In fact, Tennessee produced so much whiskey that the Confederate government outlawed whiskey production, mainly to divert supplies and essential needs towards the army reserve. The history is deep, the whiskey is good, and Pennington Distillery is one of the best in the business.

Pennington Distillery produces well-known spirits like Whisper Creek Sipping Cream, Waltons Vodka, Pickers Vodka, and Davidson Reserve Whiskeys. All small-batch premium spirits are developed and bottled in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.

You can expect a true grain-to-bottle production facility, which only ups the ante on this locally operated business. All whiskeys are aged on-site, and local Tennessee products are used when possible.
