Uncle Nearest Debuts First Ever Rye Whiskey

Uncle Nearest Rye

Uncle Nearest has bottled its first rye whiskey

“As with our inaugural Master Blend Edition, this Uncut/Unfiltered Straight Rye Whiskey represents the favourite barrels of Victoria Eady Butler, our master blender, fifth-generation Nearest Green descendant, and four-time ‘master blender of the year’ recipient,” said Fawn Weaver, CEO and founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey.

“Born in the north – in Canada according to the exact American specifications required to be a straight rye whiskey – and raised in New York for a minimum of four years before moving down to Tennessee, this rye is crafted and blended by Victoria,” explains Weaver. “As she puts it: ‘My great-great-grandfather was known for his whiskey filtration method. But this 100% rye is so spectacular, we dared not cut or filter it.’”

Bottled at 52.9% ABV, Uncle Nearest Rye is priced at $149 and is available exclusively from the Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, TN.
