You forgot to mention that an African American Women Fawn Weaver purchased the farm. She researched the back story between Green and Jack Daniel. It has won over 280 awards since 2019'-2022 and the first African American female Master Blender Green's great-great granddaughter Eddy who is award winning twice now.

I was about to state the same.

Nearest Green was in his mid 30's when in 1856, he was more than twice the age of young Jack, who was orphaned and went to work on the farm where the two became friends. If you like JD you're going to like Uncle Nearest. Thank god Jack and Nathan weren't racist.

Lol... Man Nearest Greens family lived broke within a few hundred yards of the distillery... Most working for Jack Daniels if they were lucky.... meanwhile the Daniels rose to prominence..... So call it what you want..... It definitely wasn't the relationship these ppl making it out to be.

@@ZMonsta88 The Daniel's were already prominent and wealthy before Jack started (Jack Daniels). He used his inheritance to start it. I am glade that they met each other and became friends. Nearest Green was a master of making whiskey, Jack Daniels was an entrepreneur. If these two had never become friends we would not have these two great distillers today. Nathan Green never played the victim-card. You should embrace the story of Jack and Nathan it was born out of tragedy for both. Fawn Weaver is an entrepreneur also, who just happens to make very good whiskey. She has also become prominent and wealthy because of a man called Uncle Nearest. God Bless

Man I am exhausted after reading your watered down, over simplified, sterilized statements Proving that you don't understand what this "relationship" was. Proving that you don't understand how people are exploited "nicely" for decades and when there is (1) good story that can be extracted you erroneously imply that this was a wonderful opportunity and symbolic relationship for the Green family. Proving that you are unwilling to critically think about this real life situation and how long it actually took for Nathan Green to get any recognition. Yes the Jack Daniels family made amends starting in 2016. Claims that this happened because Jack Daniel was an entrepreneur, (and making the assumption that Green was just a friend) should have lead you to ask the question why wasn't Natan Green an entrepreneur. It begs the question if Green was so important why wasn't he taken on the entrepreneur journey? Why did the Nearest Green story have to be "Uncovered" I'll leave that there but I'm sure you will think of a reason why he wasn't! Like claiming That they both were born out of a tragedy and Green didn't play the victim card....REALLY. @@dannytimmons7801

Great review. Thanks for actually telling the backstory.

I personally enjoyed this. What I imagined JD being like pre 1955. Need a splash of water to open up. Good review and I enjoy and appreciate what you do. Cheers 🥃

Excellent! Thank you guys for this.

This is an EXCELLENT whiskey

Man I'm so happy you guys did this review, I almost became exclusively Charles & Mann fan for whiskey reviews. I almost thought you were not fans of the bottle.

I really like this whiskey. Enjoyed it quite a bit last summer with some ice and a nice cigar on a summer night.

I really like this one. They have a white and Green label. The white is easy to find the green is really hard to find.

Fun fact: Most of the water filters used for hiking/backpacking have charcoal as a main component. Interesting that moved from water filtering in one country to liquor filtering in another.

Also, I think that the company is run by a woman. She did all of the research that you just summarized and gave it to Jack Daniels....it is another story of something being created by slaves and then never originally getting credit as such. I like that the story is out. I also would say I get a bite note but it is not an ethanol bite. I love this one. ALWAYS have a bottle in the house.

I been drinking this neat for a couple of years, after about 2 minutes I taste cinnamon. I get notes of vanilla, maple syrup on my nose. The bite is not bad to me cause most things I drink are 100-112 proof. Throughly enjoyed your review.

It's been awhile. Fun to drop in, and share a drink with you. I almost grabbed this for February, but felt it was too much just "chasing the curve". Thanks for keeping it fun!

Daniel it looks like a scorpions on the straps of your overalls (I could be wrong) I think they look cool man, The history behind the name made me Google and learn more, thank you. As usual great review.

I really enjoyed this whiskey. I like it neat, but one thing I enjoy is having it with ice. As the ice melts there are these different flavors that start to pop out at you. Someone else in the comments mentioned this, but I have to second that it goes great with a cigar.

Daniel, overalls-fitting tip: shorten the shoulder straps. It'll bring the waistline up a smidge and visually lengthen the legs.

“We don’t chase fads!” is a total hipster thing to say!!

Just wondering with the whiskeys that's in the bunghole corner, wouldn't the heat from the lights affect the content of the bottles.

Great great whiskey

Glad to hear you have the Walking Dead whiskey. Recently saw some and was considering sending it for the vault.

I love you guys. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Take care!

The overalls are Poppin. Gettin myself a pair now.

Looks good guys!

Nice intro Rex! I know y’all are famous but just a reminder that new whiskey lovers don’t know who the Som and Mooch are

Does anyone else think that Daniel's overalls look kind of like one of those baby carriers where you strap the child to your chest? Whenever it cuts back to him, it's the first thing that pops into my brain.

Before i even start I've been trying to find this bottle locally to try. Now to the video.

I'm a relatively new subscriber and while I love the content I have been depressed ever since I learned through this channel that moonshine can be new make. When I lived in NC our local liquor store used to sell this locally made "moonshine" insanely cheap and it tasted like like the hazelnut center of the Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates. I have never seen it or anything like it since leaving NC and every episode I watch makes me sad thinking of what could have been if I stayed until that stuff had enough time to age and be sold as proper whiskey. Oddly I remember the 127 proof but can't recall the name. I miss the south.........

This one is surprisingly smoother than the white 1884 one - THAT'S A LOWER PROOF! Wth?!

Daniel and Rex are the opposite of hipsters. They do things AFTER people have stopped thinking it was cool. I believe the term for it is "Dadster."

'I will not bow to any sponsor' feeling when talking about the fads :)

I'm going to buy this this weekend.

Digging’ the Farmer Dan look.

You only had one job icelord, make sure there was ice for my whisk(e)y.

How would you say this compared to Jack Daniels Single Barrel? Similar proof, similar price range, both Tennessee whiskey.

Wait, almost 8 min of reviewing the whisky ?! What's going on here ? Rex even gave comparison points that sound valid !

The Irish guy that punches people 😂

Hey friends, it seems that Uncle nearest is currently out where I'm from and on the website. Does anyone have any recommendations to some super similar to this brand at the 100 proof mark? This is my favorite whiskey and if someone can recommend something similar I would be extremelygrateful! :)

Gal pal bought this Tennessee whisky for me. Pretty good stuff. Don't usually add ice but given the comments here I am going to give it a try.

Where did the short lumberjack rapper guy come from?

I don’t know, I want to like this whiskey more. I have a bottle I’m going to visit it again soon. Maybe it was just too dry for my pallet?

Honestly, the release of The Walking Dead whiskey was several seasons behind the curve itself. By the time it came out, that show had already gone to hell and been abandoned by most viewers.

I agree with Rex about the “burn” when I initially opened the bottle . However, I went back a week later and it was gone. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The ethanol ding that Rex is talking about is what we typically refer to as "a pooseey". Rex is growing his hair to prove how much of a hipster he isn't. it's really sad.

It's the man-bun on Rex, and the skinny jeans on Daniel. That's why they call y'all hipsters. I'm not saying that's the case,... I'm just explaining why other people are saying it. I also think that alot of people just call all millennials hipsters because they don't even know what it means. Is it supposed to be an insult? I dig the flannel shirts and the high and tight haircuts,... I share their fashion sense. The hipsters are my favorite people under forty, basically the only people under forty that I can stand.
