The Rise of Uncle Nearest: A Historic Whiskey with Modern Appeal

In the world of premium spirits, few brands carry the rich heritage and quality of Uncle Nearest. Named after Nearest Green, the first African American master distiller known for his role in shaping Tennessee whiskey, Uncle Nearest has swiftly earned a reputation for excellence and innovation. This remarkable spirit is now featured at 1830 Chophouse, a testament to its quality and the chophouse’s commitment to offering only the finest experiences to its guests.


A Legacy of Excellence

Uncle Nearest’s story begins with Nearest Green, a figure whose influence on whiskey-making dates back to the 19th century. Green’s mastery of the craft helped lay the foundation for what would become Tennessee whiskey, working alongside Jack Daniel himself. Despite his significant contributions, Green’s story remained largely untold until recent years, when the legacy of Uncle Nearest was revived by his descendants.


Founded in 2017, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey pays homage to Green’s legacy with a modern twist. The brand is committed to honoring his craftsmanship while delivering a high-quality product that stands on its own merits. Uncle Nearest offers a range of expressions, including their 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey and 1820 Single Barrel Whiskey, each known for its rich flavors and smooth finish.
