Named after the Nelson family's pre-Prohibition matriarch who helped keep the business afloat upon her husband's death, Louisa's Liqueur is Nelson's Green Brier's latest release. A satisfyingly sweet digestif without being saccharine, this easy sipper tastes like a slice of pecan pie aside a cup of café au lait. — 8 years ago

Clear, straw color. Warm inviting peat aromas, wet grass, baseball glove leather, smoldering fire, some green fruits in the background. Rubber, iodine, and apple tart in the mouth. Hot, but balanced. Long finish. Excellent peated whisky from Ichiro! — 10 years ago

This half-bottle release is essentially a preview of the Nelson’s Green Brier’s signature Tennessee Whiskey to come. This first product was aged in smaller than normal vessels – 30 gallon barrels versus the full-sized 53 – to more rapidly advance its development. The result is a whiskey that already achieves impressive concentration – an explosive combination of flavors ranging from dried apricot and caramel to skillet cornbread and smoke. — 8 years ago

Color is light, clear, sort of like green tea. Nose of spice, quite powerful in nasal cavity, peaty flavor, fermented grains, and subtle apple&mango note. Taste is a dance of three main flavors, sweetness, peat, and spice. Very harmonic. You can feel she is young but the depth is nice compared with aged ones. Some fermented grains, and flowering note on the second wave. Aftertaste of peat, slight bittersweet peel, and flowering note, Oh, you can feel her strength too. This is a well made whiskey on par with top distillery from the west. — 9 years ago

Absolutely stunning. Devoid of many of the flavors that characterize most whiskies, like toffee, caramel and oak. On the nose, it's packed full of fresh orchard fruit up front - green apples and pears, pineapple, fruitcake, honey, crushed peanuts, orange blossom, cream. The body is rich and supple, stuffed with fresh fruits that caress the tongue with a fresh vanilla bean sweetness before offering a burst of tartness on the midpalate that lifts things into the stratosphere. That fructuous sour note hammers home the strong connection to crisp apples and freshly picked pears, and prevents this whiskey from coming across too rich and sweet. A hint of menthol, leather, and dried earth. Cardamom and clove dance on the palate with walnuts, violets and honeysuckle for the medium-long finish. Nice notes of barley at the tail end. Really special. — 10 years ago

Deep amber color shows her double oak nature. Nose of fragrant ester, green apple, oak, and hint of toffee. Very powerful nose. Taste is a dance of hot spice with creamy caramel, around this is some milky vanilla, apple, and chocolate note. Aftertaste is a pleasure with milk chocolate-like sweetness, a bit minty, dried figs, and powerful hot spice at the throats. This is a bold but well polished whiskey. — 9 years ago
