Every batch of Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey is hand-selected by our founders and curated by fifth-generation Master Blender, Victoria Eady Butler, who’s signature is on the back of each bottle. Aged a minimum of 7 years, and bottled at 93-proof, this is a smooth sipping whiskey. In 219, Uncle Nearest 1884 joined the award-winning Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey line-up including Uncle Nearest 182 and Uncle Nearest 1856. Together, these three ultra-premium whiskies have garnered more than 125 awards since launching in July 217, including two “World’s Best” by World Whiskies Awards, “Top 5 Whiskies in the World,” by Cigar & Spirits Magazine, “Chairman’s Trophy, Platinum and Double Gold” by SIP Awards and “Best American Whiskey.” Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is the fastest-growing independent American whiskey brand in U.S. history and was the most awarded American whiskey brand of 219.
