Uncle Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey is a tribute to Nathan 'Nearest' Green, the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States. This whiskey is crafted in Tennessee, adhering to the Lincoln County Process, which involves filtering the spirit through sugar maple charcoal before aging. The mash bill typically includes a high percentage of corn, complemented by rye and malted barley, contributing to its rich and smooth profile. Aged in charred American oak barrels, it boasts an ABV of around 50%, offering a complex flavor profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of spice, balanced by a smooth, smoky finish. The whiskey is produced in the heart of Tennessee, reflecting the region's rich distilling heritage.
