Uncle Nearest Cognac Cask Finish Tennessee Whiskey

The Uncle Nearest Cognac Cask Finish Tennessee Whiskey is a luxurious fusion of Southern craftsmanship and French elegance—celebrating the legacy of Nearest Green with an elevated finish unlike anything else in American whiskey. This refined expression begins with Uncle Nearest’s award-winning Tennessee whiskey, charcoal mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, before being finished in French oak Cognac casks that once held some of the world’s finest brandies.

The result is a whiskey of remarkable depth, where Tennessee tradition meets Old World sophistication. Rich notes of orchard fruit and caramelized sugar intertwine with layers of dried figs, spiced honey, and velvety oak, offering a beautifully rounded palate that is both bold and exceptionally smooth.
