"UNCLE NEAREST 1884 SMALL BATCH WHISKEY
***SELECTED FOR ""OPRAH'S FAVORITE THINGS"" 2020***
Way back in LYNCHBURG, TENNESSEE, the name Nearest Green has always meant something special. His birth name was Nathan Green, but his family and friends called him Uncle Nearest. No one actually knows how he obtained that nickname, so we assume he was the ""nearest and dearest"" to so many who came in contact with him. Hailing from Maryland, one of the original capitals of whiskey making in the United States, we don't know how or when Uncle Nearest made his way southwest to Tennessee. What we can confirm is he is the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States and thought to be responsible for helping perfect the Lincoln County Process, a requirement in being categorized as Tennessee Whiskey.
Uncle Nearest 1884 is the proud legacy of the best whiskey maker the world never knew. Each small batch has its barrels hand selected by our founders with each blend curated by descendants of Nearest Green. The signature of the descendant who curated each batch is embossed on the back.
