Regulators, Mount Up‼️ If you haven’t seen the Regulator reel our CEO, Fawn Weaver just put up on Instagram… Drop everything—and head over there! Alright, now that you’ve seen that, let’s get back to this: Nearest vs. Everyone Part II - Let’s get it, Fam‼️ In the late 1800s, Jack Daniel boldly walked into bars, placed a silver dollar on the counter, and challenged patrons to compare his whiskey—crafted by his mentor and master distiller, Nearest Green—to their usual bourbon. Today, we proudly launch Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey, continuing that legacy with Nearest vs Everybody Part II! 💪🏽👊🏽 This fall, CEO Fawn Weaver and 4x Master Blender of the Year Victoria Eady-Butler will tour bars across the U.S., starting in Tennessee. Patrons can taste the NEW 🎉 Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey alongside their regular bourbon, with a silver dollar on the line for those daring enough to take on the challenge—just like Nearest’s mentee did! The only rule? No competition against Jack. Nearest and Jack’s friendship endures, but Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey is ready to take on the rest. 👏🏽🙌🏽 With the same exceptional quality that has made Uncle Nearest the most-awarded bourbon in the world for six consecutive years, Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey is artfully crafted at a more approachable proof and price—just $29.99. Its balanced profile makes it perfect for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails. 🥃✨ So, order bottles of Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey today at UncleNearest.com , and let’s toast to legacy, craftsmanship, and a little friendly competition! Cheers! 🥂🎉

How hard is it to cement a legacy⁉️ NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. But if you follow our amazing team, under the dynamic leadership of our CEO, Fawn Weaver , you know they aren’t afraid to defy the “impossible.” You’ll also notice our rapid rise continues to make headlines EVERYWHERE! 👏🏽🙌🏽 And Forbes just made a mini-doc about it‼️🔥 From groundbreaking campaigns to record-breaking sales, the team and Fawn have rocketed Uncle Nearest to the forefront of the industry. 🚀💪🏽 So it should come as no surprise to see her image gracing the digital cover of Forbes with a feature story in America’s Self-Made Women List 2024! 🏆✨ Her journey to building the first spirits conglomerate owned and founded by a woman and person of color is being followed from around the world and for good reason. She shared with Forbes reporter Chloe Sorvino, “Historically, we’ve done a lot of renting but not a lot of owning. A lot of being an ambassador and building other people’s stuff, but not a whole lot of building our own.” Since 1917, Fawn is only the THIRD Black women they’ve had the opportunity to interview who have catapulted companies to $1 billion+ outside of sports and entertainment. "It’s not just about representation," Fawn says. "It’s about rewriting history and creating opportunities for future generations." Fawn’s book, "Love & Whiskey," hits shelves in less than 3 weeks ☺️💃🏽 and the printers are already working overtime to keep up with the incredible demand! The book is already in its 3rd printing, y’all! Most authors would die to get a 2nd printing and Fawn’s book has surpassed that, in the PREORDER phase. 📚 FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER Fawn and 4x Master Blender of the Year and great-great-granddaughter of Nearest Green, Victoria Eady-Butler, are hitting the road TOGETHER for the Love & Whiskey Unfiltered Tour where you are the host. 💪🏽🙌🏽 No questions are off limits! ✈️🧳 Preorder Love & Whiskey TODAY and grab tickets to a tour spot near you by going to https://lnkd.in/eGXFKVWg ! The exclusive barrels and Master Blend Edition bottles Victoria is doing for the tour is not to be missed! #LoveAndWhiskey #UncleNearest

🚨OH, Y’ALL THOUGHT WE WERE PLAYING!!! 📣🙌🏽 When our Founder and CEO Fawn Weaver shared the vision of not just becoming the first U.S. spirits conglomerate founded by a woman and/or person of color, many thought she was just talking. But our #WhiskeyFamily knows that if Fawn says it, IT’S DONE! 💯👊🏽 Well today, we are making great strides toward this reality, announcing that Uncle Nearest, the most valuable Black-owned and founded spirit brand of all time, is making MONUMENTAL WAVES with its acquisition of the the first organic spirits company in U.S. history, Square One Organic Spirits! 🌊🍸 Celebrating 20 YEARS of organic spirits excellence, Square One emerged in 2004 as the FIRST brand to solely craft USDA-certified organic spirits. 💯🔥 With a staggering near $22 million in sales and almost 200,000 cases sold, with its incredible founder, Allison Evanow , as the sole salesperson for the better part of the past 18 years, Square One didn’t just break norms – it REDEFINED the spirits industry! Ya’ll remember how we ROCKED the spirits world last year with our acquisition of Domaine Saint Martin, a highly esteemed 100+ acre property with a rich 350-year legacy & links to iconic figures in the cognac world? That bold move not only secured a valuable historical & production resource but also marked our audacious foray into the promising Cognac market. (T-minus 3 weeks until we begin filming the remarkable true story of Cognac with the unrivaled Jeffrey Wright)!! 💪🏽🔥 Now, we’re adding another pillar, onto the spirit house that faith built, by entering a new market: VODKA! 🍸 Under our ownership, Square One’s farm-to-glass organic, gluten-free varieties will continue to FLOURISH! We will lean heavily on Evanow’s leadership, ensuring the brand’s founding principles stay strong. As encapsulated by our CEO, “We’re answering a call for transparent, culturally connected brands, and with Uncle Nearest’s national distribution network and an unwavering commitment to heritage and authenticity, we stand ready to meet this growing demand.” The FUTURE IS NOW. The NEW Square One Organic Vodka will be sweeping across America in THIS July‼️ Are y’all ready?!
