A whiskey distillery in Tennessee is a facility where whiskey, a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash, is produced. Tennessee is known for its production of whiskey, particularly Tennessee whiskey, which has a distinct flavor profile and is made according to specific legal requirements.
Tennessee whiskey has a long and rich history, dating back to the early 1800s. The industry boomed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and Tennessee became known as a major whiskey-producing state. However, the industry was hit hard by Prohibition in the 1920s, and many distilleries were forced to close. After Prohibition ended, the industry slowly began to recover, and today there are a number of thriving whiskey distilleries in Tennessee.
