Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey is part of our Bourbon Whiskey collection. It comes from Uncle Nearest Whiskey and is crafted in the United States.
Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey honors the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, an enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel the art of whiskey-making and is now recognized as the first African American master distiller on record. This smooth, 93-proof Tennessee whiskey is crafted using a unique charcoal mellowing process that Green perfected, resulting in a rich, complex spirit with notes of caramel, maple, and spice.Interestingly, the brand’s founder, Fawn Weaver, originally set out to write a book about Nearest Green’s life but ended up establishing the fastest-growing independent American whiskey brand in U.S. history, with Uncle Nearest becoming the best-selling African American-owned spirit brand of all time.
