Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Tennessee Whiskey
Regular price $115.00
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is inspired by the best whiskey-maker the world never knew, the first known African-American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. The Uncle Nearest brand, wholly owned by Uncle Nearest, Inc., an all minority-led business, encompasses a premium aged whiskey with a blend of 8- to 14- year old, an 11-year-old minimum age single barrel, and a 7-year-old small batch offering, all mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, a unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal. This process has been confirmed to have been brought to Tennessee by enslaved people and taught by Nathan Green to the most famous Tennessee Whiskey maker of all time. Uncle Nearest is distilled, aged, bottled and hand-labeled in Tennessee.
Uncle Nearest 1856 is a blend of premium aged whiskies between 8 and 14 years old. It has a caramel colour with a beautiful deep golden hue.
Nose: Bale of hay, dried grass, stone fruit notes of ripe peach and apricot, caramel corn and sweet maple.
Palate: Spicy caramel up front with the proof, hints of maple then mellows with dried fruit and floral notes. Sweetness and spice reminiscent of freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies.
Finish: Long and rich finish, lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate, notes of vanilla.
