This is the whiskey that started it all

Shortly after the Valstead Act was repealed in December of 1933, ending 14 years of Prohibition in the United States, Manuel Eskind began his life-long journey to reestablish the tradition of Tennessee Whiskey. He began by resurrecting the shuttered George Dickel Distillery and was instrumental in the iconic landmark’s re-opening. This experience began a life-long appreciation of fine whiskey and was a key factor in opening Capital Distributing Company in 1939. In the early years with Capital, Manuel would travel from Nashville, Tennessee to Kentucky where he would follow the Bourbon Trail and purchase full barrels of whiskey. Picking only the finest barrels, he would then transport them back to Nashville before bottling and selling to local spirit purveyors. His passion for bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey led him to work with many of the highest quality whiskeys from Tennessee and bordering states. In 1983, Capital Distributing Company was passed to the next generation of family members, and Best Brands was born. Best Brands continued to support local whiskey producers and, as a result, has developed one of the leading whiskey portfolios in the business. In the last several years, Best Brands has worked to create a whiskey that not only pays tribute to the hard work and contributions of our founder, but embodies what a fine Tennessee Whiskey should be. We worked closely with those who were entrusted by Manuel to select and age only the best barrels of Tennessee Whiskey, waiting until they were ready to bottle before creating Cumberland Cask. Cumberland Cask is a true Tennessee Whiskey that is distilled, barreled, aged, and bottled in the State of Tennessee by the hands of the great grandchildren of those who worked with Manuel so many years ago.

It is a true Tennessee product with roots in our states’ historic past.
