At the Battle of Kings Mountain, they helped break the British southern campaign and change the course of American history. Then they came home to settle the Nolichucky River region, bringing the craft of distilling with them from Cork County, Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEleven generations later, that same grit lives on. In 2014, Stephen Earl Callahan opened Tennessee Hills Distillery in the Salt House, a 180-year-old building that was the most heavily guarded structure in Jonesborough during the Civil War. In Tennessee's oldest town (and its first capital), the Callahan family finally made legal what they'd been mastering for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a decade, Tennessee Hills has crafted bourbon, rum, vodka, and gin. Now, 250 years after the Callahans first arrived in these hills, we're releasing our first Tennessee Whiskey: a wheated expression charcoal-mellowed through sugar maple, shaped by limestone water, and aged with the patience the old ways demand. It's the official TN250 Tennessee Whiskey, made for Tennessee's celebration of 250 years of American independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaster Distiller Jason Franklin chose wheat over rye for a smoother, rounder body, and aged it five years in 30-gallon barrels for more time against the oak. It's bottled at 96 proof. Dried prunes, baking spices, smoked candy caramel and vanilla on the nose. Rich roasted chestnut on the palate, with a deep, long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bottle honors the distillers who kept the craft alive when they were told they couldn't. Their legacy didn't die in Prohibition. It waited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne family. Eleven generations.
