Uncle Nearest Toasted Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey

Honoring the legacy of the first known African American master distiller, Uncle Nearest Toasted Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey delivers a profile of exceptional depth and complexity. Each bottle represents a specific moment in the aging process, captured at natural barrel strength—often exceeding 120 proof—to preserve the whiskey’s raw, authentic character.

The unique toasting process adds a layer of sophistication to the traditional maple charcoal filtration method. Upon pouring, aromas of dark cherry, baking spice, and vanilla greet the senses, leading into a robust palate of brown sugar, roasted nuts, and maple. The finish lingers with distinct notes of spice and leather, making every sip a memorable exploration of flavor. Because this is a single barrel release, slight nuances distinguish one batch from another, offering a truly singular tasting experience for the collector and connoisseur alike.
