Uncle Nearest Whiskey

Uncle Nearest Whiskey is a premium whiskey brand named after Nathan “Nearest” Green, a formerly enslaved African American who is credited with teaching Jack Daniel how to make Tennessee whiskey. The brand was founded by Fawn Weaver in 2017, with the goal of bringing attention to Nearest Green’s forgotten legacy in the world of whiskey-making. The company has since gained significant recognition and success, becoming the fastest-growing American whiskey brand and the best-selling Black-owned spirit brand.
