About this bottle

Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch is a Tennessee whiskey blended by master blender Victoria Eady Butler, the great-great-granddaughter of Nearest Green — the enslaved distiller who taught Jack Daniel his trade. Bottled at 93 proof, it carries honey, warm brown sugar, cedar, and orange peel on the nose, then a palate of caramel, baking chocolate, cigar leaf, and cinnamon over spicy wood tannins. The finish runs long and smooth, cinnamon fading into dark chocolate and maple. Charcoal-mellowed the Tennessee way, it drinks well above its price and holds up neat or over a single cube. A bottle with real history behind every pour.

How to drink Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch

Neat or over a single cube shows off the charcoal-mellowed smoothness best, but it also makes a genuinely good whiskey sour if you want to mix it. Skip heavy cola mixers — the cinnamon and orange notes deserve better.

The Bourbon Historian
@bourbonhistorian
Nathan "Nearest" Green was the man who taught Jack Daniel to distil — an enslaved and later freed distiller, and the first known Black master distiller in America. His name sat outside the official story for over a century while the whiskey he shaped became one of the most recognised products on earth. This bottle puts it back where it belongs. The history is the reason it's here; the whiskey is the reason it stays.
Their tasting notes Nose: maple, toasted pecan, green banana. Palate: sweet and soft, with that Tennessee charcoal cleanness. Finish: nutty and quick.
