On the Uncle Nearest distillery tour, you will learn all about the man himself, Nathan “Nearest” Green, AKA Uncle Nearest. Nathan Green was born into slavery in Tennessee. He was also widely regarded as the finest whisky distiller in the area. He is widely believed to be the perfector of the “Lincoln County Process,” where whisky is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before barreling. This filtration process is what separates Tennessee Whisky from bourbon. Nearest Green taught a young Jack Daniel the art of whisky making.

Years later, after the Civil War when Nearest Green was a free man, Jack hired “Uncle” Nearest as his first master distiller, making him the first African American master distiller in the country. In 2017, a group of committed individuals led by CEO Fawn Weaver opened the Nearest Green Distillery in his honour. Uncle Nearest is one of the largest black-owned whisky brands in the country.
