Uncle Nearest 1820 11 year

Uncle Nearest 1820 is a whiskey release from Uncle Nearest, a brand built around the legacy of Nathan "Nearest" Green — the enslaved and later free master distiller in Lynchburg, Tennessee credited as the first known African-American master distiller on record, who taught Jack Daniel to distill. 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.
