This 11 Year expression carries an extended age statement relative to Uncle Nearest's standard lineup. As with the brand's other bottlings, expect the smooth, charcoal-mellowed character typical of Tennessee whiskey production, with added wood-driven depth from the longer maturation. It's built for whiskey drinkers interested both in an aged Tennessee whiskey and in the distilling history behind the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Uncle Nearest 1820\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeat or with one rock lets the extended barrel time show through; it also stands up well in a classic Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Nearest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43473649467610,"sku":"VWS_200421470","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/9972\/2044\/files\/Uncle-Nearest-1820-Single-Barrel.png?v=1684914253"},{"product_id":"uncle-nearest-rye-uncut-unfiltered-750-ml","title":"Uncle Nearest Rye Uncut\/Unfiltered 750 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eUncle Nearest Rye Uncut and Unfiltered is exactly what the label says: rye whiskey bottled straight from the barrel without dilution and without chill filtration, so nothing gets stripped out on the way to the glass.

The palate is thick and oily, with black pepper, cocoa, dried orange and a wave of oak, and the finish runs long and hot.
