There is also a tasting area called the Welcome House as well as the Copper Skies Experience where you can enjoy a craft cocktail on the covered porch in one of the numerous rocking chairs while enjoying an unobstructed view of the sunset.
The site currently has a retail store, a bottling house, and the Tennessee walking horse experience where guests can learn the history of the walking horse. The new Nearest Green Distillery is a currently in Phase 1 and set on a 270 acre walking horse farm located in Shelbyville, TN on the way to Lynchburg at the former Sand Hill Creek location.
It’s extremely impressive and incredibly admirable that Fawn and her team have set out to involve the community and give back before their own production facility was even completed. Another amazing thing that the Uncle Nearest brand has done for the Lynchburg community is establish the Nearest Green Foundation which provides scholarships that are available to all of Nearest Green’s descendants. Most notably Miss Victoria Eady Butler, Nathan Green’s great-great-granddaughter as their Master Blender. They have not only received permission from Nathan Green’s family to use his name on their brand, Fawn and her team have involved and employed some of his remaining family and involved them in company. They’ve added lights, a stone entryway, a fence, and cleaned and restored headstones at this historic site. It is located right next to the Lynchburg City Cemetery. The brand has also been responsible for the cleanup, restoration, and renovation of the African American cemetery where Nathan Green is buried. The brand has purchased the 313 acre Dan Call Farm where Nathan Green lived as a slave and first taught Jack Daniels the process of filtering distillate through sugar maple charcoal. The things that Fawn Weaver and her team at Uncle Nearest is doing is extremely impressive. Before I arrived I kind of just assumed that it was a Jack Daniel’s product or brand that was being marketed as a minority owned company. I knew that the brand was based near Lynchburg, TN and that it was a MBE. I did very little research and investigation into the brand so that I could go into the experience with an open mind and an unbiased opinion. I’ll be honest, when I was invited on the PR trip for Uncle Nearest I had never tried their product.
