Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey 750ml

Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey is a tribute to Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known African-American master distiller. This exceptional Tennessee whiskey is crafted using the Lincoln County Process—filtering through sugar maple charcoal—before aging in new, charred oak barrels. The result is a rich, full-bodied spirit that honors its heritage.
