About the Spirit

Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey emerges as a distinguished spirit from the heart of Tennessee, distilled and bottled in Shelbyville at the Nearest Green Distillery. Named in honor of Nathan "Nearest" Green, the first African-American master distiller in the United States, this whiskey carries a legacy as rich as its flavor profile. Crafted with meticulous attention to tradition, Uncle Nearest 1856 is synonymous with quality, employing a barreling process that echoes the 1800s craftsmanship. New American oak barrels, charred to perfection, encapsulate the spirit, imparting a deep complexity and robustness that defines each bottle. The whiskey's distinguished taste comes from its harmonious blend of oak and caramel undertones, complemented by vanilla hints. Subtle dried fruit notes add layers of complexity, culminating in a smooth, spicy finish that lingers satisfyingly on the palate. Integral to its character is the limestone-filtered water from Tennessee’s natural reservoirs, enhancing the whiskey's smoothness, while the copper stills used in distillation ensure a refined finish. Uncle Nearest 1856 holds a special place for whiskey connoisseurs, celebrated not just for its historical significance but also for its superior taste. This premium whiskey stands out as a tribute to legacy, craftsmanship, and the unparalleled flavors of Tennessee.
