The plant is very clean with great lighting allowing you to see all the features discussed. This company is only six months old and produces only three products; Jumpers Stash, Smooth Shine and Tennessee Vodka.
Have you ever come across a place that wasn't on your list to visit but you said, "Why not?" and took a chance? That's what happened when I visited Old Glory Distilling Company.
This is a great place to visit. They have three products currently, Tennessee moonshine with a nice finish, white rum made from molasses, which gives it a rich, almost maple flavor (not as strong as a spiced rum, but a very pleasant surprise in a white one), and vodka, also with a very nice finish. They will have some bourbons ready later this year. They offer tours and tastings for a very low price, and an array of items in the gift shop with a wide range of prices, many of which are geared toward veterans and their loved ones. They have had a couple of community events and I think they'll have more. I look forward to visiting again and trying new products.
Overall: As a distilling company, I think that Old Glory is well on its way to making a fine name for itself.
“The Glory Days of Distilling”
Great stop. My boyfriend and I did the tour last week while vacationing in Nashville. We spent part of a day in Clarksville and this little distillery was worth the drive. They are starting off with some great products and I cannot wait to visit again in a couple of years to see what else they are doing.
He also discussed the importance of the different casks and how they affect the aging process of what they are producing that day.
Totally worth the tour and tasting! They've just finishing aging their first barrels, so I didn't get to sample any bourbon or whiskey (won't be a problem for anyone going after tomorrow...) But they had some of the best clear liquor I've ever tasted, especially in America. A fun and informative tour, and actually a great gift shop (not as kitschy as a typical one). Their ingredient sources are all local and the mash gets recycled to local farms for an earth-friendly drink, too.
There is a fee for the tour but the five dollars can be redeemed with a purchase of product or clothing.
Now mind you, I'm a Riesling type of girl. Yes, I love my wine but this looked like such an interesting place that I took the chance on a late Tuesday afternoon to check it out. I will tell you, it was the most interesting and informative tour I have been on in a long time. It also helped that I was the only person so it turned out to be a private tour.
By the time the tour was over, I was ready to roll up my sleeves to start working there myself.
T.J. was not only an excellent guide, but an encyclopedia of knowledge regarding the "grain to glass" theory. He spoke of the cooking process and what a "mash bill" is. We discussed the requirements of fermentation, the difference in using a copper pot and the gleaming silver column system. Because of him, I now understand the meaning of "heads, hearts and tails" and the last stage of production, barreling/bottling.
My family and I were down there for the eclipse and the place seemed pretty organized for the event. They had some minor things wrong that’s about it. Debra and Matt have been helping me with an issue and everything has been working out with no problems. If the eclipse in 2024 was coming through there we would go back. Sadly we do not get to Tennessee much.
