Overview

More Info

Here's a Tennessee whiskey with a story worth knowing: Uncle Nearest 1856 honors Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller. It's a blend of aged barrels, made from corn and rye and charcoal-mellowed through the Lincoln County Process before resting in new American oak. Bottled at 100 proof, it opens with maple, vanilla, and cherry, then rolls into spicy caramel and dried fruit before a long, sweet vanilla finish. Sip it neat, over ice, or built into a cocktail.

Reviews

The flavor of Uncle Nearest 1856 whiskey is unusual.

"Once you realize that this whiskey is a Tennessee whiskey and not a Kentucky straight bourbon, you will realize how fantastic it is. Yes, I am aware that all Tennessee whiskeys are actually bourbons, but filtering the liquid over sugar maple charcoal gives the spirit its distinctive flavor and gives it a superb texture and a faintly earthy, chocolatey flavor towards the end. However, the initial flavor on the palate includes a subtle vanilla touch."

— Itoh T. (5/5)

The men in my family received 202's "brown liquor" as a gift.

"I am not a "brown liquor" drinker but the men in my family are. I love buying a bottle which has been talked about by someone who knows and treat them all to a bottle at Christmas time. Well my husband saw the bottles and he cracked the seal early and he loves it. He was skeptical knowing that I selected this on Oprah's recommendation from her list of favorite things for 2020."

— Julija H. (5/5)

A Taste Of History

"Uncle Nearest wasn't my first purchase. I initially bought it because of the amazing storyline, but it's definitely a keeper for flavor. Nathaniel "Nearest" Green, a former slave who instructed Jack Daniels on how to produce whiskey, is honored by having his whiskey given his name."

— Myung-Suck (5/5)

Those who enjoy bourbon will adore Uncle Nearest.

"The smoothness of this Uncle Nearest belies its authenticity as a genuine bourbon spirit. It's my favorite now since I adore it."

— Malik T. (5/5)

Take the Uncle Nearest and you will be happy.

"Despite not drinking whiskey, I gave it a shot a few months back. It was a present for someone's birthday. Uncle Nearest is easy-going and priceless!"

— Concetto M. (5/5)

Numerous Nuances

"This one lights up your body...WHEW!!! I've always been a scotch fan, but I thought whiskies were a tad brassy for my taste."

— Nicolò U. (5/5)

Excellent Bourbon Whiskey flavor.

"I've switched to Uncle Nearest bourbon in place of Jack Daniel's, which is quite smooth. Very strongly advised."
