Our Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 8 year single barrel finally came in! Very thankful we had the opportunity to select this beauty. We’ve been looking forward to it arriving and it does not disappoint! Absolutely loving the proof on it, it couldn’t be any better at 117.5. Incredibly flavorful with a gentle spice on the tongue followed by an enveloping mouthfeel that just won’t quit, ending with just a smidge of smoke on the finish. Available at our Nolensville location for $84.99, snag one before they’re gone!! 🥃

🚨 New barrel pick alert 🚨 Our Elkwood Reserve 15yr bourbon single barrel arrived today! This beauty is something we’re super proud of as it’s from a very distinguished distillery. Our friends at Franklin Distribution got their hands on some Wild Turkey barrels from a connection of theirs and were able to bottle it under their label! This barrel has a rich mouthfeel with hints of cola and a killer finish on it, it’s been very enjoyable continuing to taste it as it opens up and new flavors start to shine. We’re sharing this barrel with our friends at so you can snag one from either location! $234.99

Happy Halloween!! Our Green River single barrel has arrived! Like our first pick earlier this year, this 125.6 proof beauty turned out wonderfully and surprisingly drinks well below its proof. 6ish years old, fruit forward with gentle spice - it is the perfect fall time bourbon! We decided on the name Ricky Bobby since it was the first one bottled during its bottling run (it sounded good when we’d had several pours, don’t judge). Come and snag one or two, if you ain’t first you’re last!!

🚨 New barrel alert 🚨 Our Blue Note single barrel arrived today! This beauty is an absolute people pleaser and waaaaaay too easy to drink at 120.3 proof. The lingering finish completes this bad boy and is a steal at $51.99! This barrel is available at our Nolensville location. Have a great weekend everyone - cheers! 🥃

Happy hump day!! We FINALLY received our barrel of Green River! Absolutely in love with how it turned out. We picked this bad boy on October 10th, and that's half of what led to its name being "Barrels and Brews 10/10" - the other half is due to this being a 10/10 barrel pick. Full bodied with a deep palate, you'd think it would be followed by some heat but you'd be mistaken. It is proofed perfectly at 119 and a dangerous sipper! Come and grab one for yourself at the Nolensville or Franklin locations, cheers! 🥃

Dashe Heart Arrow Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
2016/13.5% ABV
$45.99

The Heart Arrow Ranch is a certified biodynamic and organic farm in Eagle Peak, one of California’s newest designated AVA. Vineyards are nestled among olive groves and vegetable gardens, and are fertilized by the cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep that roam the land.

Anne's classic French winemaking training combines with the experience Michael has gained at Ridge Vineyards, Far Niente and Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.
Together, the Dashes' strive to create authentic, site-focused boutique wines.

A beautifully structured Cabernet with aromas of blackberry, cassis, plum, and minerals.
On the palate, soft tannins are balanced with complex fruit flavors of blackberry, cassis, pomegranate, and black cherry. Drinking wonderfully now and will only improve with a few more years in the cellar.

Enjoy with your favorite steak or a charcuterie board with aged semi-hard cheeses.

Happy Friday! We just got in 4 rockin barrels from NULU and I’m sure these will get your weekend started off perfectly! These guys are absolutely killing it and we’re so happy that they allowed us to be the first stores in TN to select some single barrels. Up first, we have the short barrel bourbon (C206). At 5yrs & 122 proof, this high-rye MGP barrel may not have yielded a bazillion bottles but it makes up for the lack in quantity with quality. A rich & oily palate with a finish that just won’t quit. Up next we have another 5yr MGP bourbon, barrel C225. This one has a little less rye than it’s companion, but maaaaaann is it flavorful. Way too easy to drink for its proof while still having great viscosity. Next, is the 6yr old Toasted MGP rye. The rye marries perfectly with the toasted finish and its almost reminiscent of graham crackers. That’s what I taste, and you can’t tell me otherwise. Anyhoo, this is a perfect bottle for a blind tasting I tell ya, there’s so much going on. It’s been enjoyable watching this pour change with air time. Last but not least, our 3yr old Extra Anejo Agave Spirit (basically tequila made in 🇺🇸)! I’ve been STOKED for this to come in. If you’ve ever been curious in regards to what a high proof tequila tasted like, this is your answer! Incredible profile with a long, full-bodied finish - this is one of those you’ve gotta be careful with. These barrels are available at Franklin & Nolensville locations, hope everyone has a great weekend!
