Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is the quickest rising American whiskey model in U.S. historical past. The model, honoring the primary recognized African American grasp distiller, launched in 2017 and swiftly rolled out all through the U.S. and overseas. Their whiskeys are curated by fifth-generation Nearest Inexperienced descendant and our Grasp Blender, Victoria Eady Butler, who has been named Grasp Blender of the Yr 4 occasions.
This newest summer season 2024 launch is bottled at 122 proof and comes from barrel no.905.
GSN’s Remarks: Laborious to imagine that the final barrel we reviewed in 2022 was solely No. 7. Right here we’re practically 900 barrels later, and the hits simply carry on coming. A rock stable bourbon, with simply the appropriate trace of sweetness tempered with a good quantity of oak char, results in a taste profile similar to the earlier launch we reviewed. This one may be a bit drier, extra tannic and extra compact in character, however it’s nonetheless very a lot a sibling of the earlier Black Label releases. We like this one simply as a lot as all of Uncle Nearest’s progeny. GSN Score: A+
