The folks from Buy Local BG stopped into our Bowling Green Distillery and were quite impressed with what they saw (and tasted). Check out their article and be sure to watch the youtube clips (included below) about the history of our distillery and our current product line up.
Corsair Artisan, the Nashville-based microdistillery has officially come home with the opening of its Nashville location in the Marathon Motorworks Village. This historic building, located at 1200 Clinton St, is the former home of Yazoo Brewery. This facility will provide the setting to brew all of the whiskey mash for Corsair’s mainstream and experimental whiskeys (By the way, we just filled 7 barrels with our forthcoming Triple Smoke Whiskey). Our 240 gallon antique still is also on site and will allow us to distill in Nashville as well as in Bowling Green.

Craft Distilling: An emerging movement, craft distilleries are small scale operations similar to a microbrewery. Also called micro-distilleries, these hands-on operations make spirits in small batches, often producing less in a year than larger distilleries bottle in an hour. The large continuous stills used by major producers are eschewed for hand-operated pot stills. Pot stills require more labor but allow the craft distiller fine control over flavors and give broad room for experimentation. This allows craft distillers to focus on local ingredients and unusual techniques to make small volume batches of high-quality spirits.
