NEW EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTING MEMPHIS’S WHISKEY HISTORY
Big Cypress Lodge | Memphis, Tennessee – Whiskey Trail Package
Nestled within the iconic Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid, Big Cypress Lodge in Memphis offers a unique wilderness resort experience with rustic elegance and modern amenities. The lodge has recently introduced its exclusive Whiskey Trail Package, designed for guests to explore Memphis’s rich whiskey-making history. As part of the package, visitors will enjoy a guided tour of the renowned Old Dominick Distillery, where they’ll get an inside look at the grain-to-glass process and sample signature spirits. This behind-the-scenes tour is an immersive way to experience Memphis’s legacy along the Tennessee Whiskey Trail. Memphis’s whiskey heritage dates back to the 1800s when the city was a hub for distilling and trading along the Mississippi River. After Prohibition temporarily halted production, modern distillers like Old Dominick have revived the city’s tradition, crafting spirits that honor the past while pushing innovation forward. Big Cypress Lodge offers 103 uniquely decorated rooms, multiple dining options, and a range of recreational activities, making it the perfect base for guests before or after their distillery tour. Whether you’re a local or visiting Memphis, the Whiskey Trail Package provides a memorable opportunity to experience the best of the city’s whiskey culture and hospitality.
