Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey

Nose: Waves of fresh churned butter and honey on toast fill my nose. Brown butter on stove, rice crispy treats. Palate: Dry with flashes of smoked wood. The sugar maple process gives it a crisp, smooth, agave-like sweetness. Fresh baked vanilla cupcakes, spring wildflowers.

Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is inspired by the best whiskey-maker the world never knew, the first known African-American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. The Uncle Nearest brand, wholly owned by Uncle Nearest, Inc., an all minority-led business, encompasses a premium aged whiskey with a blend of 8- to 14- year old, an 11-year-old minimum age single barrel, and a 7-year-old small batch offering, all mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, a unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal. This process has been confirmed to have been brought to Tennessee by enslaved people and taught by Nearest Green to the most famous Tennessee Whiskey maker of all time. Uncle Nearest is distilled, aged, bottled and hand-labeled in Tennessee. Distillery Notes 46.5% ABV
