Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Tennessee Whiskey

Special Features: This premium Tennessee Whiskey honors the legend Nearest Green, the first known African-American master distiller. The distillery uses the traditional "Lincoln County Process," in which the whiskey is filtered through maple charcoal—a crucial step that ensures its characteristically smooth and pure flavor. Since 2021, the distillery has worked exclusively with its own stocks, without purchasing any outside whiskey. The bottlings are produced under the direction of Victoria Eady Butler, a descendant of Nearest Green.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Notes of butterscotch, vanilla and coconut with a subtle sweetness.
• Palate: Soft and balanced, with hints of caramel, cinnamon and wood spice.
• Finish: Long-lasting, mild and warming with a hint of dark chocolate.

Distillery/Bottler: Nearest Green Distillery was founded in 2017 to preserve the legacy of Nearest Green, who is considered the first African-American master distiller before the abolition of slavery in Tennessee. The distillery strictly follows traditional methods without additives and has quickly established itself as one of the most innovative whiskey brands in the USA. The combination of history, craftsmanship, and modern distillation makes Uncle Nearest a special reference in Tennessee whiskey.
