About

Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey was founded in 2017 by Fawn Weaver in Shelbyville, Tennessee, with the mission of honoring Nathan "Nearest" Green — the formerly enslaved man who is widely credited as the first known Black master distiller in American history and the man who taught Jack Daniel his distilling techniques. The brand launched the Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey and the Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey, both named for significant years in Nearest Green's life. All whiskeys are produced using a charcoal mellowing process (the Lincoln County Process) and aged in new charred American oak barrels in Tennessee.
