Uncle Nearest Green Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750 ML

Uncle Nearest Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold, American-crafted spirit paying homage to Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known African-American master distiller. This rich rye is produced using a mash bill high in rye grain and aged in new charred oak barrels, resulting in a robust and full-flavored expression.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Warm aromas of cinnamon, baking spices, and candied ginger with hints of caramel and ripe fruit

Palate: Bold and spicy—classic rye character with flavor notes of nutmeg, black pepper, honey, and toasted oak

Finish: Long and warming, leaving lingering spice, vanilla, and subtle oak sweetness

Details:

Type: Straight Rye Whiskey

ABV: 47.5% (95 Proof)

Volume: 750 ml

Mash Bill: High-rye grain bill—usually over 51% rye

Aging: Matured in new, charred American oak barrels

Why It Stands Out:
Honoring the legacy of a pioneering master distiller, this whiskey delivers authentic rye flavor with modern quality. It combines rich spice and character with a smooth finish, making it a standout in its category.

Serving Suggestions:

Neat or with a splash of water to open up the complex aromatics

Ideal for robust cocktails like Rye Old Fashioneds or Sazeracs

Pairs beautifully with smoked meats, hard cheeses, or dark chocolate
