Uncle Nearest Cognac Cask Whiskey

Product Description

Experience the perfect harmony of Southern craftsmanship and French elegance with the Uncle Nearest Cognac Cask Whiskey, a rare and luxurious Tennessee whiskey finished in fine French Cognac barrels. Crafted at the Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee, this limited-edition release from the acclaimed “Lost Chapter” series combines bold Tennessee character with the sophisticated influence of aged Cognac casks.

Matured in hand-selected 10- to 20-year-old Cognac barrels and bottled at a robust 120.5 proof (60.25% ABV), this single-barrel whiskey delivers exceptional depth, complexity, and intensity. Every bottle reflects the artistry of fifth-generation blender Victoria Eady Butler, who continues the legacy of America’s first known African-American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green.

Uncle Nearest Cognac Cask Whiskey offers a masterful balance of fruit, oak, and spice—making it an essential addition for collectors, connoisseurs, and those who appreciate the finer side of Tennessee whiskey.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
A luxurious bouquet of ripe stone fruit, golden raisin, and dried apricot leads the way, layered with crème brûlée, dark honey, and hints of toasted oak. Subtle notes of pipe tobacco and warm vanilla emerge as the whiskey opens in the glass, showcasing the influence of the Cognac cask.

Palate:
Full-bodied and velvety on the tongue. The palate bursts with fig preserves, candied orange peel, and caramelized sugar, balanced by oak spice, nutmeg, and roasted almonds. Hints of grape must and honeyed apricot add elegance, while the Tennessee whiskey backbone contributes warmth, depth, and structure.

Finish:
Long and refined, unfolding slowly with notes of toasted oak, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and lingering spice. The finish transitions into soft leather and fruit compote, leaving behind a satisfying balance of sweetness, oak, and Cognac sophistication.
