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.

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.

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.

Rye is known for its peppery bite, a spicy splash of flavor that washes over the palate with every sip. Springbook’s Adirondack Straight Rye Whiskey is big, bold, and spicy. It’s full of the flavor and complexity that deserning Rye Whiskey drinkers are searching for.
