Volume: 750ml           ABV: 50%           Age: No Age Statement         Country: America

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. Currently it’s produced by two local distilleries as the brand’s own whiskey ages. The name honours 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. It’s from Uncle Nearest that a particular Jack Daniel was taught about distilling back in the mid-1800s. Nathan ‘Nearest’ Green is undoubtedly a figure who was vitally important to whiskey history.
