The most classic of classic Tennessee Whiskey's inspiration and role model. Big thanks to Daniel Whittington himself for the bottle (?). Not sure how to credit the man but hey, there you go.

You forgot to mention that an African American Women Fawn Weaver purchased the farm. She researched the back story between Green and Jack Daniel. It has won over 280 awards since 2019'-2022 and the first African American female Master Blender Green's great-great granddaughter Eddy who is award winning twice now.

Nearest Green was in his mid 30's when in 1856, he was more than twice the age of young Jack, who was orphaned and went to work on the farm where the two became friends. If you like JD you're going to like Uncle Nearest. Thank god Jack and Nathan weren't racist.

Lol... Man Nearest Greens family lived broke within a few hundred yards of the distillery... Most working for Jack Daniels if they were lucky.... meanwhile the Daniels rose to prominence..... So call it what you want..... It definitely wasn't the relationship these ppl making it out to be.
@dannytimmons78018 ай бұрын
@@ZMonsta88 The Daniel's were already prominent and wealthy before Jack started (Jack Daniels). He used his inheritance to start it. I am glade that they met each other and became friends. Nearest Green was a master of making whiskey, Jack Daniels was an entrepreneur. If these two had never become friends we would not have these two great distillers today. Nathan Green never played the victim-card. You should embrace the story of Jack and Nathan it was born out of tragedy for both. Fawn Weaver is an entrepreneur also, who just happens to make very good whiskey. She has also become prominent and wealthy because of a man called Uncle Nearest. God Bless

Man I am exhausted after reading your watered down, over simplified, sterilized statements Proving that you don't understand what this "relationship" was. Proving that you don't understand how people are exploited "nicely" for decades and when there is (1) good story that can be extracted you erroneously imply that this was a wonderful opportunity and symbolic relationship for the Green family. Proving that you are unwilling to critically think about this real life situation and how long it actually took for Nathan Green to get any recognition. Yes the Jack Daniels family made amends starting in 2016. Claims that this happened because Jack Daniel was an entrepreneur, (and making the assumption that Green was just a friend) should have lead you to ask the question why wasn't Natan Green an entrepreneur. It begs the question if Green was so important why wasn't he taken on the entrepreneur journey? Why did the Nearest Green story have to be "Uncovered" I'll leave that there but I'm sure you will think of a reason why he wasn't! Like claiming That they both were born out of a tragedy and Green didn't play the victim card....REALLY. @@dannytimmons7801

I like that the story is out. I also would say I get a bite note but it is not an ethanol bite. I love this one. ALWAYS have a bottle in the house.

I'm a relatively new subscriber and while I love the content I have been depressed ever since I learned through this channel that moonshine can be new make. When I lived in NC our local liquor store used to sell this locally made "moonshine" insanely cheap and it tasted like like the hazelnut center of the Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates. I have never seen it or anything like it since leaving NC and every episode I watch makes me sad thinking of what could have been if I stayed until that stuff had enough time to age and be sold as proper whiskey. Oddly I remember the 127 proof but can't recall the name. I miss the south.........
