Uncle Nearest Releases Its 1st Rye Whiskey

It's an uncut/unfiltered straight rye,  available only at the Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, Tenn.

To create its uncut/unfiltered rye whiskey, Uncle Nearest sourced its rye from Canada and raised it in New York for four years. Once it was ready, the Uncle Nearest team brought it back to Tennessee to rest and finish in its barrels before being bottled. The new expression reinforces Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler’s ability to create the highest quality whiskeys possible even when moving away from the filtration process that was created by her great-great-grandfather.
