Description
Revel in an “old-fashioned” evening of cocktails and cuisine as we celebrate National Bourbon Day with Uncle Nearest.
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey honors the best whiskey maker the world never knew, Tennessee distilling legend, Nearest Green. Born into slavery, Green became a master distiller after emancipation, working alongside Jack Daniel and teaching him the art of whiskey-making. Despite Green’s crucial role in refining the techniques of Tennessee whiskey, his contributions remained largely unrecognized until recent years. Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey pays homage to his legacy, honoring his skill, innovation, and influence in shaping American whiskey culture.
Pour a glass of history and sip on greatness with us as we celebrate National Bourbon Day with a curated menu of delectable dishes paired with craft bourbons from the most awarded bourbon and American whiskey of 2019 – 2023.
