The featured edition of Uncle Nearest 1856, initially introduced in 2017, upholds the brand’s tradition of excellence while paying tribute to its historical significance and its namesake, Nathan Green. Nathan Green, the first recorded African-American master distiller in the United States, is a legendary figure who imparted the art of distilling to none other than Jack Daniels. This exceptional whiskey is produced in Tennessee, and its mash bill combines corn and rye. It undergoes distillation through the renowned Lincoln County Process and is then aged for a minimum of 8 years in charred virgin American white oak barrels.
