Uncle Nearest Straight Rye Whiskey


Wine & Spirits
Uncle Nearest 1884 is a small batch whiskey, bottled at 93 proof with every barrel tasted for perfection and blended by Master Blender, Victoria Eady Butler, great-great-granddaughter of Nearest Green. This legacy era bottling contains whiskey from our own barrels and we couldn't be more proud to share it with you. Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is the fastest growing American whiskey brand in U.S. history. In 2019, Uncle Nearest 1884 joined the award-winning Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey line-up including Uncle Nearest 1820 and Uncle Nearest 1856. Since then, we have added our most perfect blend yet, Master Blend.
Uncle Nearest is based in Shelbyville, Tennessee.

The scattered remnants of cut stone still remain, but the old distillery on Louse Creek has been gone for generations now, the tin and timber beams no match for the rigors of nature and time. Yet the legacy of Uncle Nearest is alive and strong and ready to be shared by those who enjoy an exceptional whiskey and those who believe in giving due credit to a man who worked in the shadows, turning crystal clear water into gold.
