*Nearest Green, affectionately nicknamed Uncle Nearest by his friends and family in
Lynchburg, Tennessee, is the world’s first known African American master distiller. Nearest is
credited with helping perfect the globally recognized Lincoln County Process, which is the defining
distinction between Kentucky Bourbon from Tennessee Whiskey. This unique filtering of whiskey
through sugar maple charcoal was named after the county where Nearest lived and made his
highly regarded whiskey.
Nearest Green Distillery, a 323-acre Tennessee walking horse farm that has been dubbed
by the press as “Malt Disney World,” was purchased in 2017 by Uncle Nearest, Inc. and opened
for public tours in 2019. https://unclenearest.com/
