(Might possibly be on the Coffee County side) George Dickel Distillery holds the distinction of being one of only two legal Tennessee distilleries that remain in operation, the other being the Jack Daniel Distillery in Moore County. In the late 1860s, George A. Dickel, a successful Nashville merchant, created a wholesale company that bought barrels of whiskey directly from several regional distillers and distributed them in barrels, jugs, and bottles. Along with his company partners, V. E. Shwab and McLin Hezikiah Davis, they promoted and sold the whiskey throughout the region. The most popular brand that they marketed was a whiskey from a distillery along Cascade Creek in Coffee County. The quality of this whiskey was attributed to the excellence of the water from the creek.
