Belle Meade Bourbon Gift Set 375ml
Established in 1878 by Middle Tennessee distillery Charles Nelson and the Sperry Wade & Company of Nashville, they were forced to close their doors due to Prohibition. It was not until Charles’ descendants, Andy and Charlie Nelson, decided to embrace the family legacy and restart the business would their famed Tennessee bourbon return to store shelves.
After being gone for nearly a century, the Belle Meade brand has made a comeback and is now stronger than ever. Using a mash bill consisting of 64% corn, 30% rye, and 6% malted barley, their whiskey is distilled and bottled at Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery to create both their classic bourbon expressions and specialty cask finish creations.
The Belle Meade Bourbon Gift Set allows your recipient to enjoy the best of the distillery in one single, personalized packaged. Featuring their award-winning Cognac, Madeira, and Sherry cask finished bourbons, this gift set brings the flavors of two continents together for a truly unique and enjoyable bourbon experience.
