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.

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.
