Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Tennessee Whiskey 70cl, 93-Proof, 46.5% ABV

Very nice. Brought as a Christmas gift. Good quality American Whisky with some great history attached to it. Cheers to Uncle (Nathan) Nearest the black distiller who taught Jack Daniels the trade & cheers to Victoria Eady Butler, a decedent of Nathan who distilled this.

Smooth taste

Really nice smooth bourbon. Chocolate tones on the finish.

Great whiskey, drank it all

Anyone querying the filling of the bottle, this is due to the 700ml(70cl) of whiskey being dispensed into a 750ml(75cl) bottle giving the impression that it is underfilled. This is definitely not the case as I have personally measured.

Punchy and straight to the chest, when enjoyed neat. Clarity in taste, and a pleasure when splashed over some crystal clear rocks!

Not sure this is the actual authentic drink. The packaging looked weird. If anyone could verify it is real please leave some feed back.

Bought this for my husband, and was shocked to find the bottle isn't full! For £50 you would expect the advertised bottle to actually be filled with the product.

すごく美味しいバーボン

A beautifully crafted whiskey with history in every sip Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey has quickly become one of my go‑to bottles, and not just because of the story behind it (though that alone is incredible). This is a whiskey that stands on its own merit — rich, warm, and surprisingly refined for the price. Flavor & Experience Right from the first pour, you get a sweet, inviting aroma — caramel, vanilla, and a little toasted oak. The first sip hits with smooth warmth, not harshness, which is impressive for a 93‑proof whiskey. The flavor leans into honey, baking spice, and a touch of fruit, finishing with a mellow oak note that lingers just long enough. It’s the kind of bottle you can enjoy neat, on a big cube, or even in an Old Fashioned without losing its character. Craftsmanship & Heritage One of the things I appreciate most is that each batch is hand‑selected and curated by descendants of Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller. You can taste the care that goes into it — it doesn’t feel mass‑produced or rushed. Price & Value For a small‑batch whiskey in the $38–$45 range, it punches well above its weight. The quality easily competes with bottles $20–$30 more expensive. What I’d tell a friend: If you like: Smooth but flavorful whiskey A warm, balanced finish A bottle with real history and purpose behind it …then this is a no‑brainer. Bottom Line Uncle Nearest 1884 is a standout small‑batch whiskey — smooth, flavorful, and crafted with intention. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a collector, this bottle deserves a spot in your rotation.

なかなか近くの酒屋さんには売っていないウイスキーをお安く手に入れられてよかった。 コクのあるバーボンで食事に非常に合ってよい。

I love the story on how Uncle Nearest came about and I enjoy the smooth taste that it brings as well. I have purchased at least three bottles to include the premium version as well. It’s worth every dollar I spend on it!!!

The bottle is bigger then I expected , and man is this stuff strong and surprisingly smooth
