Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey

Uncle Nearest 1884 is "distilled, aged, and bottled by Uncle Nearest." A blend of 4-7 year old whiskey undergoes the Lincoln County Process (filtration through maple charcoal) before bottling at 93 proof. The resulting whiskey is approachable and easy-drinking with notes of caramel, brown sugar, stone fruit, honey, vanilla, and baking spice.

The Uncle Nearest brand seeks to honor the Legacy of the first known African American master distiller, Nathan Green. The Uncle Nearest distillery is located in Shelbyville, Tenn. The famously small town is where Nathan "Nearest" Green lived and made whiskey in what was then known as Lincoln County. The company now owns the 313-acre farm where the original Jack Daniel Distillery was located, and where Green taught Daniel the art of making Tennessee whiskey.
