The whiskey is maple charcoal filtered and aged in barrels with a toasting process for enhanced depth, and each single barrel brings its own complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt offers rich caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, dark cherry and baking spice, with a palate of brown sugar, roasted nuts and maple, and a long finish of spice and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA limited release honouring one of whiskey's most important figures, it makes a meaningful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTennessee whiskey is made much like bourbon, from a mash of at least 51% corn aged in new charred oak, but it is also filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging, a step known as the Lincoln County Process that gives a softer, rounder spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearest Green, a formerly enslaved man, taught a young Jack Daniel to make whiskey, and the Uncle Nearest brand was founded to bring his story and contribution to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToasting a barrel, rather than only charring it, caramelises more of the wood sugars deeper in the staves, adding layers of caramel, vanilla and baking spice. At barrel strength, a little water helps those notes come forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, dark cherry and baking spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown sugar, roasted nuts and maple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with spice and leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nearest Green Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tennessee Whiskey, Single Barrel, Toasted Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 121.1 proof (60.55% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple charcoal filtered, toasted barrel aging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tennessee, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a little water.
