Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Tennessee Whiskey is a premium spirit honoring Nathan "Nearest" Green, the first known African American master distiller in U.S. history, who taught Jack Daniel the art of whiskey making in Lynchburg, Tennessee. This small batch expression is crafted using a proprietary multi-generational blend of Tennessee whiskeys, each aged between 8 and 14 years.

The 1884 Small Batch is bottled at 46.5% ABV (93 proof) and is produced using the Lincoln County Process — charcoal mellowing — which is the hallmark of authentic Tennessee whiskey. The blend delivers a rich and approachable profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and a hint of dried fruit on the nose, followed by a smooth, full-bodied palate with flavors of brown sugar, toasted oak, and gentle spice, finishing long and warm with a touch of butterscotch.

Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is wholly and independently owned by Uncle Nearest, Inc., making it one of the few large Black-owned spirits brands in the United States. The brand has garnered numerous awards and is widely celebrated for its quality and historic significance. Each bottle comes in the signature Uncle Nearest packaging, which pays tribute to the brand's legacy.
