Uncle Nearest 1884

Uncle Nearest honours Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known African American master distiller, who taught Jack Daniel the craft. The brand is rooted in Tennessee’s whiskey history and stands out not just for its powerful backstory, but for its commitment to quality and community-led initiatives.

The 1884 Small Batch release is curated by descendants of Nearest Green and crafted to showcase balance and smoothness. A rich blend of sweet corn, toasted nuts, spice and dried fruit makes this a warm and approachable Tennessee whiskey with real soul.
