THE TOUR

The story of these two distilleries is deeply intertwined. When Jack Daniel was a boy, he was taught the art of making whiskey by an enslaved man named Nathan "Nearest" Green. Later, when Jack opened the now-world famous Jack Daniel Distillery, he hired Nearest Green as his first Master Distiller. In 2017, the Uncle Nearest whiskey brand was introduced, and the Nearest Green Distillery was opened. This tour is your chance to explore both renowned distilleries and take a sip of history.
