Nashville Honey Spiced Honey Liqueur
Music City is abuzz - hot even. Our Nashville Honey Spiced Honey Liqueur tastes just like that. Distilled from honey and cane sugar, this small-batch craft spirit is infused with natural ginger, cardamom, lemon peel, and cinnamon. It's a little sweet, a little spicy. Nashville Honey is available in 750ml, 375ml and 100ml.
Original Crane City Gin
The name of Nashville Craft’s handcrafted New Western Style Gin is a nod to our city’s historic progress and a welcome to all. Crane City Gin is triple distilled in our 250-gallon Vendome copper pot still and infused with seven botanicals – juniper, cardamom, fennel seed, coriander, lemon peel, angelica root and orris root.
Our original gin has a little sweetness, which lends more body and complexity to the finished product. The nose retains the traditional juniper flavor expected of gin but with a substantial contribution from cardamom. At 40% ALC/VOL, original Crane City Gin shines in a French 75, martini or Negroni.
Available sizes: 750ml and 375ml.
Crane City Dry Gin
This traditional London Dry-style gin is the first of its kind for Nashville Craft. Infused with four botanicals – juniper, coriander, angelica root and licorice – our second gin is distilled in our 250-gallon Vendome copper pot still right in our location at 514 Hagan St., near downtown Nashville. Crane City Dry Gin is bright and clean, and at 90 proof is very approachable and perfect for cocktails.
Available in 750 ml and 375ml.
Golden Biscuit Sorghum Spirit
First came Naked Biscuit Sorghum Spirit. Now our inaugural craft creation is available in a barrel-aged version: Golden Biscuit Sorghum Spirit.
This new, limited release has all the qualities that we love about our first launch – only older and wiser. We took Naked Biscuit – produced using 100 percent pure sorghum syrup from Tennessee’s Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill – and aged it in bourbon barrels. Expect heightened depth and complexity with vanilla cake batter on the nose. It’s smooth on the palate with subtle hints of oak. There’s nothing else quite like it.
Golden Biscuit continues our tie to local sourcing; read more on that history below. Golden Biscuit is a small-batch, handcrafted taste of Tennessee, available in 750ml and 375ml only.
Naked biscuit sorghum spirit
Don’t worry -- you’ll still have syrup for breakfast. But we take lots barrels of sorghum to distill for our first Nashville Craft product: Naked Biscuit Sorghum Spirit.
Sweet sorghum cane has been grown in Tennessee for generations. Unlike sugar cane, it is well adapted to our state’s climate, making it an ideal ingredient to ferment and distill into a delicious, locally sourced specialty spirit. Our batches are produced using 100 percent pure sorghum syrup from Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill, in the Tennessee hills midway between Nashville and Knoxville. For decades, the Guenther family business has kept up with the growing demand for sorghum syrup; Muddy Pond offers other products including barbecue sauce and honey. We’re proud to carry their products in our tasting room and to turn their sorghum into spirits.
Naked Biscuit is available in 750ml.
