Corsair Artisan, a small batch liquor distiller, is looking to take advantage of a new law.
In the waning hours of the Tennessee General Assembly, lawmakers approved a bill that allows for the “manufacturing of intoxicating liquors” in counties that have approved retail package sales and liquor-by-the-drink sales.The bill is now awaiting the signature of Gov. Phil Bredesen.

Nashville natives Darek Bell and Andrew Webber couldn’t be in better spirits about the development. They are now planning on bringing their start-up distillery home to Nashville.
