The story behind it
The maker
Founded by Fawn Weaver in 2017, Uncle Nearest honors Nathan 'Nearest' Green, the first known African American master distiller who taught Jack Daniel the art of whiskey making. The distillery stands as a historic tribute to his genius, blending heritage with award-winning craftsmanship.
How it is made
Crafted at the Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee, this whiskey uses the local Lincoln County process of charcoal mellowing. Each batch is curated by Uncle Nearest's descendant, Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler, ensuring authentic legacy in every drop.
