Uncle Nearest Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold, complex expression honoring the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first African American master distiller. Crafted from a high-rye mashbill and aged in new American charred oak barrels, this whiskey strikes a perfect balance between spicy intensity and refined smoothness. Utilizing the Lincoln County Process—charcoal mellowing before aging—this rye delivers both punch and polish, reflecting a mastery of traditional Tennessee whiskey-making techniques.
This straight rye whiskey is rich in heritage and bold in flavor, designed for those who appreciate depth, spice, and a smooth, lingering finish in every sip.
