This is a beautiful story. I admired her tenacity in how she honored Nearest Greene. This is also a heartfelt story and a part of Black American history. There are so many unknown stories like this. Fawn Weaver , Earnest would be PROUD. 🤎🖤🤎🖤. I’m proud of you too. 💐

Her story as well as Uncle Nearest legacy is inspiring!

[@russellmcdaniel6799]

So glad this came to light. Cant articulate the respect I have for the lineage of how this great whiskey took root. Cheers from Texas.

[@scottsquaredmedia3863]

Would love to see Jeffrey Wright play this role in a film. This guy is one of the best actors I've ever seen and can really embody ANY role. Far different from the likes of Denzel, Will, etc.

[@MVAAFF]

Agreed.

[@blackvigilance962]

That was a beautiful advertisement, and a beautiful voice for a beautiful company. Though I don’t drink, but still.

Super awesome..a legend.

[@johnwade6836]

Love this story and the one that was told by Jeffrey wright had me in tears love these people and the story's behind them

[@johnwade6836]

This man and the story behind him is a great part of history and the story needs to be told and I am glad I got a little glimpse of Nearest ( Nathan ) Greens history and would love to visit the land and home he lived in

[@ScubaFreq113]

This must be one of THE greatest color-blind stories of friendship, mentorship , entrepreneurship and peaceful and very-prosperous cohabitation crossing racial and gender boundaries during a time rife with tensions and conflicts ( post-reconstruction , then later during the entirety of the unrest of the Civil Rights movements ) that were NOT told , or acknowledged to exist , at all , in or around Lynchburg , Tn ( or , as you pronounced it ; LYNCH-burg , TN ;) ) Thank you , and your team , very much for your efforts and diligence in researching Uncle Nearest's story, legacy and history ! I now look forward to buying my first bottle of Uncle Nearest 1856 Whiskey at my local Total Wine store ( Fort Myers, Florida ) Yes i have subscribed

[@knsbbq1951]

thank you for this amazing whiskey. you and uncle..

[@Laura-vc7er]

Drinking Nearest instead of Jack from now on. No substitute for the real thing.

[@blackrhino9399]

AMAZING!!

[@ronaldparrish7823]

Hi, Fawn! This good ol’ Kentucky boi wants to say how much I appreciate all of ur hard, dedicated work in bringing Nearest Green’s story to light. Bravo, young lady. Bravo 👏!!! That said, through ur years of research did u run across any comparable stories & ppl in the history of Ky bourbon making? Thxs & all the best, Ron

[@MVAAFF]

Thank you so much!!

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

Great story about Nathan Green... but a pretty great story about Jack Daniels as well. I would have to say that Jack Daniels trust in Nearest's whiskey making skills worked out fairly well.

[@BlackLabelElite]

Amazing, thank goodness this info was put out! Going to pickup some tomorrow can't wait 🙌

[@RR-ko6ue]

Thank you!🖤🖤

[@MVAAFF]

You’re welcome 😊

[@TheMostHighDaughter180]

Just shared this story with my daughter last night. She never had heard of this before. Question: is Fawn Weaver his, Mr. Nearest, relative?

[@lifestylekster9056]

🗣️ Movie movie movie!!!!!

[@tzefirayah_700travelmore.]

Fascinating story! One that truly needs more attention.

[@willieslaughter8382]

[@ronaldparrish7823]

Yw & merry Xmas to all. Ho, ho, ho!

[@willieslaughter8382]

Didn’t even know jack Daniels was made by a black man but that’s how it was back then push the real story to the side to push the white man up front wow they got my support for now on gentleman jack

[@lolliecotten822]

It's the truth

[@lolliecotten822]

The real truth is nobody wants to know the truth. You writing about my my great great grandmother's father; but he never was a father. That man only stole and sold souls. He didn't know that African Native Americans don't stop 🛑

[@gretchenbray2268]

Is there going to be a movie or documentary?

[@MVAAFF]

yo no se

[@stillirise7813]

Did they even cut the family in for any of the profits or royalties?

[@mannysabir1339]

Excellent question, I doubt it, and is probably why they won't interfere either.

[@stillirise7813]

@melanated as fuk and loving it I did look it up no they didn't they just gave his descendants jobs if they wanted it......why you lie for these devils

[@teresascott6499]

Nothing I’m one of his descendants his great great granddaughter only pay for kids college tuition I don’t know what to do from this point

[@resistancetacticalprepared9647]

Does the whiskey have anything other than his name on the bottle? Maybe some recipe or something special? That’s one thing the website doesn’t seem to talk about

[@muatao9943]

Bravo! So well done. Mr. Wright...brilliant as always! I had to search for this after watching several interviews of Fawn Weaver. I ran out and bought a bottle of Uncle Nearest as soon as I heard about it. It's as rich and complex as our history! Cheers! @sub_bourbon_chef
