The aged whiskey debut in Portland will be followed by Nashville, Tennessee. 
 
 When asked what would most honor Green, the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States, the descendants of his son, George Green – the one most known for helping his father in the whiskey business – said ensuring his legacy lived on a bottle of premium whiskey in perpetuity would be the ultimate tribute. With that direction, the Uncle Nearest production team set out to create an ultra-premium line of whiskey products in his honor. 
 
 Using local grains and the charcoal mellowing process Green helped perfect in Tennessee over 160 years ago, a process now known as the Lincoln County Process named after the county in which Green lived and made his whiskey, the Uncle Nearest team worked with two Tennessee distilleries still making whiskey the way Green made it. This process is approached intricately by hand, placing the product in new American oak barrels close to the same 110-proof Green was known for and waiting until it is at the perfect age, taste and color. 
 
 “This whiskey is meant to bring to the forefront the man who so few outside of Lynchburg, Tennessee knew was one of the most important master distillers in the creation of what is now known as Tennessee whiskey,” said Keith Miles, spokesman for the brand. “Having spent so much time with Green’s descendants, our founders knew their desire was to honor him with a premium whiskey made as close to his way as possible and bring it to every bar and spirit shop around the world, so everyone would know his name.” 
 
 The resulting whiskey is as unique as the story from which it came. The Uncle Nearest Premium Aged whiskey presents a caramel color with a deep golden hue. On the nose, baled hay, pumpkin seeds, stone fruit, caramel corn and sweet maple are present. On the palate, the whiskey shows spicy caramel notes up front, and then hints of maple as it mellows with dried fruit and floral notes. Sweetness and spice reminiscent of freshly baked oatmeal cookies remain through a long and rich finish. 
 
 A Premium Silver product, slated for a release later this summer, is the only clear whiskey in the world to undergo UN’s proprietary triple charcoal mellowing process to produce a smooth, mixable spirit.

 The substantial contribution of a former slave on Jack Daniel’s history is being thrust into the limelight as Tennessee’s whiskey industry explodes. 
 
 New York Times best-selling author Fawn Weaver was struck by the story of Nathan “Nearest” Green, a slave from Lynchburg, Tenn. who taught Jack Daniel the craft of whiskey distilling, after a New York Times article about Green went viral last year. 
 
 After thousands of hours spent researching the topic, Weaver announced this week the launch of the Nearest Green Foundation, an organization dedicated to honoring Green’s involvement in the Tennessee whiskey industry. 
 
 “The idea that there were positive stories out there of whites’ and blacks’ working side by side, through and beyond the Civil War, resonated with me,” Weaver said in a statement. “I liked the story of Jack Daniel, but Nearest Green’s story and the community at large really stayed with me.” 
 
 Projects in the works for the foundation include a museum in Lynchburg dedicated to the history of Tennessee whiskey, the Nearest Green Memorial Park in Lynchburg, a book scheduled for completion this year and a scholarship fund to benefit Green’s direct descendants.

 Weaver and her husband purchased a 313-acre farm once owned by Dan Call, where Call’s slave, Green, taught Daniel, a neighbor, how to make whiskey. The site was also home to the original Jack Daniel’s distillery. A two-room cabin where Green lived during the Civil War and a Greek revival home where Call and Daniel once lived are being rebuilt. 
 
 Call eventually handed his still over to Daniel, and Weaver uncovered documents showing that the Daniel and Green families worked together for decades, according to a media release. 
 
 “It was on the Call farm that young Jack became one of the world’s most famous pupils and Uncle Nearest, the greatest teacher in the fine art of distilling Tennessee whiskey,” Weaver said. 
 
 Tennessee whiskey is undoubtedly having a moment. People from around the world are showing interest in the iconic product, which remains one of the state’s top exports. Just last month, the Tennessee Distillers Guild launched an official Tennessee Whiskey Trail to showcase the burgeoning industry and its history.

 The whiskey boom has brought an unprecedented number of tourists to Tennessee distilleries, including Jack Daniel’s massive property in Lynchburg, which sees hundreds of thousands of visitors per year. 
 
 The behemoth distiller responsible for producing the vast majority of Tennessee whiskey recently started embracing Green’s story and talking about his involvement during public tours, according to the New York Times article last year. 
 
 "Our primary ambition is to do all that should be done to honor the memory and role of Nearest Green and, therefore, we recognize any activity that supports this ultimate goal as worthy," said Mark McCallum president of Jack Daniel's Brands 
 
 Green’s story is reflective of a much larger and mostly undocumented relationship between slavery and whiskey distilling in Tennessee. Weaver, through the foundation, hopes to highlight that untold history. 
 
 In her research, Weaver interviewed more than 100 people connected to Green’s story, including his 106-year-old granddaughter and other descendants of Green. 
 
 “When Fawn contacted us, we were excited to hear that someone was bringing to light all of this information about our family,” said Mitchell Green. “Until now, only our family and a small community were aware of the impact our ancestor had on the Tennessee whiskey industry.” 
 
 Separately, a group Weaver helped pull together is releasing a Tennessee whiskey this month called Uncle Nearest 1856. 
 
 “When I met with the descendants of George Green, the son most known for helping his father, Nearest, and Jack Daniel in the whiskey business, I asked them what they thought was the best way to honor Nearest,” Weaver said. “Their response was, ‘No one owes us anything. We know that. But putting his name on a bottle, letting people know what he did, would be great.’”

– Few lovers of Tennessee whiskey likely know they owe their favorite drink to a slave named Nearest Green. Jack Daniel's only recently started publicly recognizing Green's vital role in its history, according to a New York Times story that went viral last year. But Green's time as—per a press release—"the best whiskey maker the world never knew" is coming to an end, if one best-selling author who learned about Green in that Times story has her way. The AP reports Green started distilling whiskey for his owner, Dan Call, in the mid-1800s in Lynchburg. It was on Call's farm that Green taught Jack Daniel how to make Tennessee whiskey. Call later gave his distillery to Daniel, and the Green and Daniel families continued to work together for decades. This week, author Fawn Weaver launched the Nearest Green Foundation, the Tennessean reports. Among the projects planned by the foundation: a Tennessee whiskey museum, the Nearest Green Memorial Park, and a scholarship fund for Green's descendants. Weaver even bought the Call farm where Green and Daniel first started distilling whiskey together. She calls Green "the greatest teacher in the fine aft of distilling Tennessee whiskey." In addition to the activities of the foundation, Green is also finally getting his own whiskey. Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Whiskey launched in Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday. Weaver says Green's descendants told her "putting his name on a bottle, letting people know what he did, would be great."
