Former Slave Named Nathan Green aka “Uncle Nearest Taught Jack Daniels How To Distill Whiskey
By 
The African American Cultural Society (AACS) of Palm Coast, Florida hosted a Black History Fundraising event called “Field of Dreams” on 29 April 2023, at the AACS facility located at 4422 U.S. Highway Rt. 1 in Palm Coast, Florida. The event paid tribute to Nathan Green aka “Uncle Nearest,” a slave who taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey.
Everybody associates the name Jack Daniels with premium whiskey. Very few people know that Jack Daniels learned how to distill whiskey from a slave name Nathan Green, later known as “Uncle Nearest.”
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is the world’s first-known African American master distiller. The brand is the fastest growing American whiskey in US history. The company is owned and managed by a Black female named Fawn Weaver.
The company’s four ultra-premium whiskeys have garnered over 450 awards and accolades since the brand’s 2017 launch, with 54 Best in Class honors, including: Spirit Brand of the Year from Wine Enthusiast, two Chairman’s Trophies from Ultimate Spirits Challenge, back-to-back Master Blender of the Year awards from Whisky Magazine, Whisky of the Year from USA Spirits Ratings, and back-to-back honors of “World’s Best” at the 2019 and 2020 World Whiskies Awards.
