Uncle Nearest Straight Rye Whiskey

$64.97

Bottled at cask strength, this Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is what other ryes work hard to grow up to be. Tennessee does a lot of things well; growing rye is not one of them. So, we sought out the best from other states. Each of our inaugural barrels hails from New York, where they aged in new American oak for a minimum of four years after a short stint in B.C., where they were born.

Description

These barrels began as a lofty experiment in 2017. Was it possible to create an ultra-smooth whiskey, with flavor galore, made from 100% rye? That was the question. The answer took a while but was well worth the wait: hell yeah.

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.
