Uncle Nearest 1884 continues the remarkable legacy of Tennessee Distilling legend, Nearest Green, the first known African American Master Distiller. Each small batch is curated by his great-great-granddaughter, whisky magazine’s twice-awarded master blender of the year, Victoria Eady Butler. Utilizing the process of sugar maple charcoal mellowing that Nearest helped perfect over 160 years ago, this small batch select delivers a whiskey that is as smooth as it is complex.
