Description
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is inspired by the best whiskey-maker the world never knew, the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States, Nathan “Nearest” Green.

Australia’s allocation for Uncle Nearest 1856 premium whiskey is super limited. It was Nearest Green Distillery’s inaugural release when the distillery opened its doors for sales in 2017. Bottled at 100 proof, the whiskey is a blend of multiple mashbills which will create slight variations in flavour from batch to batch. Each batch is curated by 5th generation Nearest Green descendant and Master Blender, Victoria Eady Butler, who was named Master Blender of the Year by Whisky Magazine for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022 as well as receiving the same honour from The Spirits Business and Vinepair in 2021

This multi-award-winning 1856 expression commemorates the year that Nearest Green was credited with perfecting the Lincoln County Process, where whiskey is filtered through sugar maple charcoal prior to ageing in charred new-oak barrels – A process that defines Tennessee whiskey and makes it unlike any other distilled spirit in the world.
