Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is a brand of Tennessee whiskey produced by Uncle Nearest, Inc., headquartered in Shelbyville, Tennessee, United States. The whiskey is named after the formerly enslaved man, Nathan "Nearest" Green, who taught a young Jack Daniel the craft of distilling. Founded in 2017, Uncle Nearest rapidly enjoyed considerable success, becoming the fastest-growing whiskey brand in the United States by 2021. Uncle Nearest was named one of the 100 Reasons to Love America by People magazine in 2021, and one of Inc.'s 5000 fastest-growing US companies from 2019 to 2022. As of 2023, eight brand variants had been produced, and Uncle Nearest was recognized as the most successful black-owned distillery in the world. In August 2025, after Uncle Nearest defaulted on over $100 million in loans, a judge placed the company in receivership, taking control of the company away from the Weavers.
