Who taught Jack Daniels to about distilling in the 1800s? Nathan Green, who was known as Uncle Nearest to friends and family, and was the first African-American master distiller on record in the USA. The best whiskey maker the world never knew is based in a 458-acre, four-phase, $50 million build-out.
Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey is produced in Tennessee using a combination of corn and rye, and is put through the Lincoln County Process before being aged in new American oak barrels.
Nathan 'Nearest' Green is undoubtedly a figure who was vitally important to whiskey history.
Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey. is beautifully textured, lots of wood but supported by plenty of fruit and texture. Long finish with a touch of heat, but there’s enough character so that it enhances rather than detracts, carrying the flavour on a long compelling finish.”
