And, although Tennessee’s whiskey trail gets less attention than the one in Kentucky, it’s at least as interesting, if not more so. The charming Corsair Brewstillery and Taproom, a must on any Tennessee whiskey exploration, has benefitted from modernization laws on both fronts. This relatively under-the-radar “trail” offers much to those interested in the history of politics, religion and alcohol prohibition. Liquor-by-the-drink, for example, has almost no legs in Moore County, where residents concerned that bars hoping to cater to 250,000 thirsty whiskey trail tourists would ruin the peaceful setting are happy to keep the county dry. Add to this 26 completely dry counties and nine wet ones – the latter home to Memphis, Chattanooga and Nashville, the music city that is the logical first stop on a Tennessee whiskey trail tour.
