Uncle Nearest Tennessee Whiskey — 1856 Premium Aged, 1884 Small Batch & Master Blend Edition Allocations
Uncle Nearest, launched in 2017 by founder Fawn Weaver, honors Nathan 'Nearest' Green — the enslaved master distiller who taught a young Jack Daniel the Lincoln County charcoal-mellowing process and is now recognized as America's first known Black master distiller. In just a few years it became the most awarded American whiskey brand, with expressions spanning 1856 Premium Aged, the 7-year 1884 Small Batch, and the cask-strength Master Blend Edition selected by Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler, Nearest Green's own descendant.
