In celebration of Black History Month, we're highlighting a founding member of Jack Daniel's award winning recipe, from a man who was not recognized as "The Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey," until late.
Nathan "Nearest" Green, born a slave, became the first African-American Master Distiller in America and was employed by Jasper “Jack” Daniel at Jack Daniel's Distillery. Known as Uncle Nearest, his methodology in filtering alcohol through sweet gum charcoal became the defining factor in what some consider the finest alcohol to come out of Tennessee. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is what we call it. Uncle Nearest called it his best!
Brown-Forman Corporation, which now owns Jack Daniel's acknowledged Green as Jack Daniel's first Master Distiller in 2017 and compensated his family for his creation. Now recognized worldwide, Uncle Nearest is considered and ranked as the "World's Best" and "Top 5 Whiskies in the World," winning several awards in recent years.
The Uncle Nearest brand, wholly owned by Uncle Nearest, Inc., an all minority-led business, encompasses a premium aged whiskey with a blend of 8-14 year old, an 11 year old minimum age single barrel, and a 7 year old small batch offering; all mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, a unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal. This process has been confirmed to have been brought to Tennessee by enslaved people and taught by Nearest Green to the most famous Tennessee Whiskey maker of all time.
We will be carrying his original formula at the restaurant this week, both the 1820 and 1856. They are 100 proof and delicious!

I bought a bottle of the black label 1856 when I learned that it was a black owned whiskey company. I didn't yet know about the history with Jack Daniels. It is good. You can taste the quality.
Love it
Unchiul N.fără îndoială e mai super decât Jac D.nu știu cum îl prepară dar este ceva perfect,numai aroma cît face,nota 11!
Which whiskey did you like best? I’m thinking about getting abottle of jack daniels myself
Prefer Nearest to Jack.
I've tried the 1856 and it's smoother than Jack.
Which do you prefer?
@@harleyshideawaybarandgrill 1856 for me. It's more mellow. Jack gives you that initial burn but Uncle Nearest is smooth throughout.
@@Romekoainthere Facts
@@Romekoainthere so it isn't the same recipe? Then wouldn't that mean jack Daniel's was his own distilled recipe?
@@johnnyappleswope1821 The recipe is Jack Daniel's but Uncle "Nearest" taught him how to distill whiskey.
Subbed
I am a Scotch Drinker! I prefer Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Dalmore. If I do touch Whiskey it's Jim Beam Honey for me.
Will vouch for Glenfiddich and The Glenlivet. Haven't tried Dalmore, but will add it to the list to try. Since you like Jim Beam, give Jim Beam's Red Stag a try or Knob Creek, also by the Jim Beam brand.
@@harleyshideawaybarandgrill Dalmore is exquisite. Try the 14 yr or 15 yr bottles. They're extremely smooth. Tastes amazing on the Rocks. Or as my friends and I will do dark on Dark. Dr.Pepper and a free pour of Dalmore 😜🤬
@@paulhaggard3618 Great suggestion! What a price range on this brand. Will have to work my way towards the 25 year.
I do know that Jack Daniel's adds the colouring in attitudes and The Uncle nearest is all natural
Why didn't you include Gentleman Jack?
At the time of this filming, we did not have Gentleman's Jack on the shelf and didn't have it stocked in the bar. That did come in at a later date. We would buy new drinks as our customers requested them.
Look man, if I give 100 people my homemade Pennsylvania Dutch style chicken pot pie. All 100 will taste different to my original recipe.
No doubt, but we’re all entitled to our own opinions. This was just our take on it. On a lighter note, we’re going to need that recipe. That sounds good.
Jacks still better I have all 3 save yourself the money get wild turkey rare breed
I just had a bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed. Love it.
This is a false story. The product in that Jack Daniel's bottle has nothing to do with Uncle Nearest. Was Nathan Greene a slave that "worked" at a distillery that Jasper Newton (Jack Daniel's real name) worked at as a boy? Yeah, sure probably one of many. Was Nathan Greene distilling his own recipe? Of course not. Jasper worked at the man's general store. The owner had several businesses in town. When Jasper was about 12 he was sent to sweep floors and learn the basics of making his owner's whiskey at his boss's distillery. Of course the slaves showed him what to do. Someone showed THEM when they started working there. The "how" of making whiskey isn't any more complicated than the "how" of making pasta. Jack Daniel's put this story out 6 months before signing their largest sponsorship deal in their history with..... The NBA. Fast forward to today after the NBA dropped them for Hennesey, now everyone is telling Brown-Forman that they should pay reparations to Uncle Nearest's family, LOL! Boy that marketing scam backfired on them. And the juice in that Uncle Nearest bottle is sourced. Uncle Nearest doesn't even make their own whiskey. Jasper Newton opened a distillery decades later in a different location, using a different mashbill, adding the sugar maple charcoal filtering, making their own toasted barrels using limestone water.
Have several seats bro.
Stfu you sound mad asf
Who hurt you?
i dont get it, sorry.
