Corsair Distillery

One of America's most experimental craft distilleries, founded in 2008 in Nashville by Darek Bell and Andrew Webber. Started in Bowling Green, Kentucky (where Tennessee's restrictive distilling laws didn't apply) before moving to Nashville's Marathon Village. Known for radical experimentation -- they've produced whiskeys from quinoa, oats, triticale, spelt, and smoked grains. Their Triple Smoke (peated, cherrywood-smoked, and beechwood-smoked malts) won multiple awards and established their reputation for pushing boundaries. Bell's book 'Alt Whiskeys' became a manifesto for the experimental distilling movement. Uses a combination of pot stills and hybrid stills. Corsair represents the punk-rock ethos of craft distilling -- deliberately iconoclastic and relentlessly creative.
