I am a raging alcoholic who quit drinking alcohol almost 8 years ago. I am going to buy the largest bottle of Uncle Nearest Whiskey I can find just to sit it on a display shelf out of respect.
Baby please don't do that. Respect him by being good to your self. No one is worth the temptation or relapse. I'll buy one and say its from you in his honor ☺️
@@awkwardintelligence215 Thanks but I assure you there is no way on Earth I would ever drink any alcohol again. I had to learn long ago that alcohol is everywhere and I can't hide from it. I have zero desire to even taste it. Thank you so much for your concern and kind words, you are a good person. :)
I mean he did do all of the work, just because I make amazing grilled burgers doesn't mean I deserve McDonald's benefits. If you want handouts go to a foodbank😂
People are getting things confused. Nearest taught him how to make whiskey but did not give him the JD recipe. That was changed and tweaked until they came to the final recipe.
I hope they found his descendants and hope they reap the benefits financially. Nearest recipe is with JD and the new one is with Nearest. The college tuition being paid is BS. All that money JD has made. I guarantee no one from his family will have to work for anyone who stole from their father and everyone knew about it. I think it is not an honor but actually an insult to the highest degree.
IKE JONES teaching someone how to make whiskey isn’t the same thing as passing a recipe. I can teach you how to make whiskey but I can’t teach you how to make JackD. Don’t get ahead of yourself
@@EmpressLilith222 he literally taught Jack Daniel how to make Jack Daniel's whiskey. What TF are you saying? He didn't just hand him a recipe, he taught him the process of distilling liquor.
Ummm, speaking as an African-American, with descendants buried in Lynchburg and relatives still living there, the name aside, for African-Americans at the time, Lynchburg was, again for the time, considered safer than other places in Virginia, and to a certain degree, "Progressive." A relative went to school there to become a mid-wife.
Been waiting for this for a long time. When I tell people the little that I know about J. D Whisky their eyes seem to glaze over. I humbly await the juice in the UK! 🇯🇲🇬🇧🙏🏽❤️
“5%”? Hhhmmm. I’m gonna keep it short and positive. Cheers to Uncle Nearest, Fawn Weaver, and all those that are making this possible and telling this story🇺🇸
The picture of uncle neatest son sitting next to jack Daniels himself speaks volumes. Look at the age of his son. He has facial hair, he is grown. Makes me wonder what the relationship and the depth between jack and unc was. It's More than Just whiskey and Bigger than just a hidden history. If Jack had the recipe why keep the original source around? As well as his kid.
I encourage anybody who is interested in learning more about this Go and visit the distillery in Tennessee. I just went the other day and I was blown away.... All the artifacts are preserved and our tour guide gave the best tour full of detail and information
I don't drink Jack Daniels but I will buy a bottle of Uncle Nearest as a collector's item knowledge should be shared and I tend to do so by putting it on a T-Shirt. I make custom T-SHIRTS and this will make a great one.
Being from Nashville….i was shocked to find out about this story! My family grew up on Jack!! We always saw that photo with nearest’s son!! We really didnt think a lot about it! Yes i am late to the program……but i am here! I will celebrate his legacy! I’m so happy that Fawn is keeping the nearest family in this business!
The term POC was promoted as to bring in other races and depreciate the overall atrocities that have specifically happened to black folk, so over time the people forget it and it becomes our collective “past time”
Thank you! We the only brown ppl on Earth! We ain't African. We ain't all the same. I'm sure her great great great father was an Aborigine of this land
wow !!!!!this means alot !!!my people really are creators of this beautiful Country!!!Now let's shine together.....U.S.A. can be and will be a beautiful place...
I picked up my first bottle today. More expensive than Jack Daniel's but it tasted like History. Good History. I actually like how they priced it more than Jack. They are not competing against JD as much as more expensive brands.
@@themostfeared8633 No situation is perfect, so I'm naive to think there aren't people supporting out of greed or have ulterior motives. JD could have easily erased him from history, but he didn't. This could have easily went to a major corporation and become an easy cash cow. I'm happy to see someone who's not apart of the alcohol oligarchy have the opportunity to build this brand.
Lorna is it not because you blacks hate whites so you want to steal the credit away from a white many? white men made wiskey not black men so blacks will never get the glory from it either way
You have a Very Very Low IQ........if you can't see the Agenda behind this..........whiskey has been made Loooooong before Jack Daniels was even Born........100% FACT!
@@themostfeared8633 this was a beautiful thing developed across race lines. No one is trying to take anything away from anyone. Not everything is a black or white thing, and this story serves as a great example of how great things can be done together.
Don’t forget about Rev. Dan Call, he taught Nearest about making whiskey and young Jack Daniels worked for him and with Nearest during his whiskey education.
What an amazing story and legacy. I'm excited to try a bottle myself. I hope it's good. I enjoy many different styles, from the fruity Speysides, smoky peated Islay, bourbons like Knob Creek and Bulleit, and of course the classic Jack. The only one I haven't immediately liked is Laphroaig. I loved the smoke, but it was too medicinal for my palette. That was a while back though, so I'm tempted to try it again for a second impression.
Funny How She Says Uncle Nearest Started Working With Jack Daniels Yet Some In The Comment Section In Denial About Nearest Teaching Jack How To Make It.
If the Jack Daniels corp want to honor Unc maybe they should donate a 100 million to help build some PROPER schools for underprivileged black children. Give back to those that gave so much to you AMERICA.
All these comments seem to not be pointed in the right direction! It took years upon years too see UNCLES whiskey let's just be grateful and happy that's it's out for us to enjoy and talk about #stopthenegativity

Big Facts.
@Dra OA black man invented the traffic light, A black man was the first to do open heart surgery, and too many more to mention. Google and do your research.
And they say African Americans never contributed to America whilst sipping jack Daniel's whiskey.
So they say, but we know that's a lie.
