New Uncle Nearest Whiskey Ties To New Nearest Green Book

Uncle Nearest, the whiskey brand named for Jack Daniel mentor and enslaved distillery worker Nathan Green, is set to launch its ‘Lost Chapter’ series. The collection of limited edition whiskeys will give fans access to unreleased chapters of Uncle Nearest Founder and CEO Fawn Weaver’s acclaimed book, Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest. 

The first bottle in the series, ‘Lost Chapter 1 – 777’ (SRP: $139), will be released on Friday, July 19. A 7-year-old barrel strength whiskey between 110-120 proof, the bottle celebrates the seventh anniversary of Uncle Nearest’s launch, with only 7,000 bottles available. Those who purchase ‘Lost Chapter 1 – 777’ – which will be available at Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, TN, in select markets throughout the U.S., and online via Reservebar.com – will have access to a copy of Love & Whiskey and an exclusive link to download the first lost chapter.

“I’ve been absolutely floored by the reception of Love & Whiskey – grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it,” says Fawn Weaver. “We’ve sold out tour stops across the country, and bookstores can’t seem to keep it stocked as the book continues to fly off the shelves. So, I’m thrilled to be sharing another piece of the Uncle Nearest story as we celebrate seven years.”
