Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey

Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey is more than a great bottle it is a celebration of legacy, craft, and flavor. Named in honor of Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller and the man who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey, this Tennessee whiskey carries history forward with confidence and care.

Charcoal mellowed in the Tennessee tradition and blended from barrels aged 8 to 14 years, the 1856 is bold yet beautifully balanced. At 100 proof, it delivers depth without sacrificing smoothness, making it equally satisfying sipped neat, poured over ice, or mixed into classic cocktails. It is rich, polished, and unmistakably expressive.

Tasting Notes
Layers of caramel, maple, vanilla, and brown sugar lead the way, followed by stone fruit, spiced honey, and warm baking spices. The finish is long, smooth, and gently spicy with a comforting sweetness that lingers.

A standout bottle from one of the fastest-growing American whiskey brands, Uncle Nearest 1856 is a meaningful gift, a conversation starter, and a reliably delicious pour for whiskey lovers who appreciate both quality and story.
