Many argue that crafting a perfectly well balanced whiskey blend is harder than distilling whiskey itself. We're not saying one or the other, we happen to love both. For years our master distillers have scoured the country for straight bourbons of different ages and mash bills to blend with our own straight bourbon to create a smooth, full bodied whiskey for all enjoy.

Our local corn, rye malted barley and heavy char oak barrels offer the perfectly balanced combination of bold and sweet. On the nose, you get heavy caramel and hints of vanilla. The body gives flavors of oak toffee and vanilla. This is all underscored by the complex and spicy flavor of rye. Last but not least, the finish is long and rich with a balance between dry and sweet.

This was a lofty experiment that worked. The results of this 100-percent rye mash bill, matured in used Uncle Nearest barrels before being bottled at 100-proof, keeps with our tradition of creating some of the most awarded whiskeys in the world. This is rye whiskey, elevated, hitting every mark with its rich flavor profile,incredible balance of spices, and extraordinarily smooth finish.

Nearest Green was the first known African-American Master Distiller. Affectionately nicknamed Uncle Nearest by his friends and family in Lynchburg, Tenn., Nearest is credited with helping perfect the globally recognized Lincoln County Process, which is the only thing that distinguishes Kentucky Bourbon from Tennessee Whiskey (other than geography). This unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal was named after the county where Nearest lived and made whiskey.
