Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey

Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey

Astonishingly smooth with a gentle finish, Uncle Nearest 1856 is inspired by the best whiskey maker the world never knew. Tennessee's premier master distiller and teacher, Uncle Nearest helped perfect the distinctive maple charcoal filtering process that exemplifies the best of american whiskey.

Made by hand, double distilled and aged in American Oak Barrels, Uncle Nearest 1856 pays tribute to his legacy and craft. 

Uncle Nearest 1856 has a caramel color with a beautiful deep golden hue. Baled hay and pumpkin seeds on the nose with subtle notes of ripe stone fruit and caramel corn. Bold and spicy upfront then mellows with sweet caramel and maple, like biting into an oatmeal raisin cookie. The finish is long and rich. It lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate with notes of vanilla after the spice dissipates.
