Barmen is an expert blend of straight bourbons, bottled at 92 proof, with a bold, yet smooth profile that is as flavorful straight as it is on the rocks. Caramel, vanilla and toffee are amplified with flavors of grilled peach, raisin and apple. Traces of coffee and dark chocolate interplay with light, sweet dill and mint, fusing with lingering cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg on the end.

Aged for over five years, this unique offering represents a small, carefully curated portion of our wheated bourbon, crafted to deliver an exceptional single-barrel experience.
Uncle Nearest 1856 has a caramel color with a beautiful deep golden hue. Baled hay and pumpkin seeds on the nose with subtle notes of ripe stone fruit and caramel corn. Bold and spicy upfront then mellows with sweet caramel and maple, like biting into an oatmeal raisin cookie. The finish is long and rich. It lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate with notes of vanilla after the spice dissipates.
A neutral grain spirit with whiskey flavoring and color.
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.
