"With a standout tasting room and gift shop housed in a 200-year-old log cabin in scenic Leiper’s Fork, Lee Kennedy’s distillery takes tradition seriously. More and more Tennessee distillers are getting the esteemed designation of Bottled in Bond products — and Leiper’s Fork’s news Bottled in Bond Tennessee whiskey ($79) is beautifully balanced, made using not only rye, but also toasted malted barley. Caramel and spice make this an easy drinker by the fire or on a heated outdoor patio — ideal for gifting or saving for your personal bar cart." - Delia Jo Ramsey
