Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Tennessee
$97.99
Uncle Nearest is a relatively new whiskey brand with a relatively old name. The legend of Uncle Nearest refers to an African American named Nathan "Nearest" Green, who purportedly was the distiller that showed Jack Daniels the ropes. Yes, that Jack Daniels. The 1884 from Uncle Nearest is bottled at 46.5% and each small batch is at least 7 years of age.
The owners of the Uncle Nearest brand have started a distillery under the same name in Tennessee, but it only opened in 2018. For the time being, this Tennessee whisky is sourced from another distillery in the state. As it is labelled a Tennessee Whiskey, it has undergone what is known as the Lincoln County Process in which the new make spirit is filtered through sugar maple charcoal to mellow it before it is put into barrel for ageing.
