They say… on a moonless night, if the fire’s burning low and the bottle’s half full… you just might hear him.
Uncle Nearest.
Not a ghost, exactly. Not a myth either. But a legend—bottled at 100 proof and smoother than a midnight fiddle tune.
Back in 1856, or maybe just 2017 depending on who’s telling it, this whiskey first showed its face. Since then? Over 125 awards have followed in its wake, whispered across the hills like old secrets: “Best American Whiskey,” they say. “World’s Best,” they mutter at whiskey festivals lit by gas lamps and haunted dreams.
Pour it neat, and it wraps around your tongue like a ghostly tale told in hushed tones. Drop in some ice, and it chills your bones—in the best way. Stir it into a cocktail, and you’ll swear it knows more about your ancestors than you do.
They say Uncle Nearest is “astonishingly smooth”—too smooth, maybe. Like he’s hiding something. Like the bottle might just refill itself if you’re telling a really good story.
So take a sip, traveler. But listen close.
That smoothness?
It’s not just craftsmanship.
It’s legacy.
And maybe, just maybe… a little bit of magic.
