Tasting Notes
Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey is a true gem that pays homage to the legacy of Nathan 'Nearest' Green, a pioneering African-American master distiller. Crafted in Tennessee using a blend of corn and rye, this whiskey undergoes the traditional Lincoln County Process before being aged to perfection in new American oak barrels. Upon uncorking the bottle, you're greeted with enchanting aromas of buttery vanilla, brown sugar, sultanas, and warm cinnamon spice. The palate is a delightful harmony of caramelized nuts, oat cookies, and more brown sugar sweetness, complemented by hints of sandalwood, authentic corn, and a subtle grassy note. The finish lingers with refreshing mint leaf and rich milk chocolate notes, culminating in a final touch of spicy oak. This whiskey is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of Uncle Nearest, whose teachings shaped the iconic Jack Daniel's distillery we know today.
