5 Destination Tennessee Distilleries

"The Uncle Nearest origin story has been confirmed by historians and experts: The enslaved Nearest Green teaching a young Jack Daniel the art of distillation or perfecting the charcoal-filtering Lincoln County Process, which in part distinguishes Tennessee whiskies from other bourbons. Once a free man, Green became the first master distiller for Jack Daniel's Distillery. Now Fawn and Keith Weaver pay homage with this spirits brand, which has grown into the most successful Black-owned liquor company in the world. Visitors to its Shelbyville, Tennessee, home can sip cocktails at its Guinness-recognized bar (518 feet!) and pick up one of its distillery-exclusive expressions, including an uncut, unfiltered rye." - Jon Gugala
