Corsair Distillery & Taproom

What an amazing atmosphere for a modern distillery! The tour and tasting at Corsair were a lot of fun, and our guide was very thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. We started with a tour of their actual distilling area, highlighted by a 100-plus-year-old still they were able to buy and bring from Canada. The process of distilling was further explained, and the tour ended with a tasting of 5 different products, including gin and rum, along with whiskey. It was a great time, and I recommend it!

First of all, BEST tour I have been through. These guys are legit! Natural ingredients. No cutting corners. Excellent knowledge. Ask for Carter. This guy is so down to earth and friendly, knowledgeable and just a great human. We stopped at the bar and had some of the special cocktails: Vesta, Garden Party, Fire and water melon and Calypso Wrath... awesome! This is a must stop and no BS. Good people, friendly and good food (pizza).Last thing. PB& beerJ Awesome!!! Ask for Medina. Awesome bartender.

Really enjoyed spending a couple of hours at Corsair. My only regret is that based on their friendly service and quality products, I really should have tipped a bit more! Stopped in primarily because I was seeing a show at Marathon Music Works that evening and wanted to get there early to snag some free street parking in the area. Doing so required getting to the neighborhood a couple hours before the doors open and I wanted a couple of drinks (cheaper than the venue, and better) and a meal. I had this idea a previous time or two when I was seeing a show at MMW, but Corsair (and every other business in Marathon Village) has limited hours and are closed a couple of weekdays. Luckily they were open on a Wednesday night until 7 pm, allowing me to spend a couple of late afternoon hours here. I tried a few of their own spirits--their rye and their triple-smoked whiskey--as well as a happy hour 2 for 1 draft beer. They have a tap of many local Nashville brews. Their own distilled liquors, at least the two I tried, are superb. I particularly enjoyed the rye on the rocks, zero burn and full flavor. I also tried a pizza--the sausage supreme. Thin crust, tasty toppings, fairly priced. I almost at the whole thing, lol--more pizza than I've eaten in months, but it wasn't too filling and gave me the proper fuel to be on my feat for a rock show for several hours.Good happy hour deals, great drinks, and good pizza. My only complaints at all are those limited hours--it'd be nice if they were open on Tuesdays, for example since there are often shows at MMW on Tuesdays and no other great options for food and drink on the block right now--and if they had a bar menu of smaller plates or appetizers in case an entire pizza is a bit much for you.

We stopped in here in a recommendation and had a few drinks before a trolley tour. Lots of great local craft beer options in addition to cocktails with house made liquors! I got to sample some whiskey before buying a bottle to take home, and the bartenders were all very nice. It's in a cool old automobile factory, so there's such cool old equipment every where! They closed at 7pm, so we did they to stay long, but it was great.

Went for a tour - what an epic historic building with a bunch of cool shops!The tour itself is not really a tour- they walk you into a room with some brew making equipment and explain the process, then you head into the tasting room and try them.We got to try 8 different types ! They were all amazing . I loved the Absinthe the most.Our guide was great and funny, but I was hoping for a longer tour with more to see. I loved their product though with the homemade mash

Absolutely great tasting set up and wide variety of liquors. Son and I came for one thing and walked with much more. Absolutely delish triple smoke!! Please come and enjoy this fabulous distillery with a great tasting..please know they have a bar and food in the back...did not try but the area looked impressive nonetheless..

We were shopping around in this super cool building and a couple of us decided to do a tasting. We had already done one around the corner so we were ready to go. This one is paid vs free, but definitely worth it as you're getting a great product. It was a slow day so we were the only ones doing a tasting and there were some folks dining and having drinks in the next room. We went with a variety of whiskeys instead of mixing in the gin and something else... the Rye was my favorite. The bartender was great about explaining the tasting notes on each one and it was nice to learn a little bit about the distillery. I have had Corsair before, but didn't know much about it. I would like to have more time to come and check out the bar and grab a pizza next time.

Fantastic little distillery! Everyone was so friendly! Our tour guide, Carter, was fantastic! Every liquor we tasted was excellent & I happily brought home two bottles to enjoy! I would highly recommend visiting!

Brew tasting was great and Mitch was very informative and answered all our questions. These liquors were the best and smoothest I have tasted. My favorite was their Tennessee Single Malt. It's only sold at their distillery.

Very accommodating, awesome time! Larmae was very knowledgeable and a good sport with our party!
