Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey honors the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known African American master distiller in the United States. Revered as “The Best Whiskey Maker the World Never Knew,” Green, a formerly enslaved man, was instrumental in developing the whiskey-making techniques that define Tennessee whiskey today, including the renowned Lincoln County Process. It is widely believed that Green taught Jack Daniels the art of whiskey making, shaping the industry’s future.

Since its debut in 2017, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has rapidly become the fastest- growing independent American whiskey brand. The company’s ultra-premium spirits have earned more than 150 awards and accolades including “Spirit Brand of the Year” from Wine Enthusiast and “World’s Best” honors at the World Whiskies Awards.
