This is the first "Lost Chapter" release from Uncle Nearest. It debuts alongside a bonus chapter to Uncle Nearest founder and CEO Fawn Weaver's book, "Love & Whiskey." Everyone who buys this bottle from Uncle Nearest gets a copy of the book and a link to access the exclusive chapter. The whiskey itself is a 7-year-old Tennessee whiskey. Uncle Nearest doesn't disclose the distiller directly, but a representative from the brand confirmed to me that it's "distilled by Uncle Nearest under Nearest Green Distillery." I know Uncle Nearest contract distills at Tennessee Distilling Group — so that's a pretty safe bet, albeit unconfirmed. According to the brand, this whiskey should be bottled between 110 and 120 proof, but my sample was 121.7, so maybe I got lucky.

Huge butterscotch note joined by a smoky, savory bacon-fat note, as well as vanilla bean, cinnamon, white pepper and walnut.
Rich mouthfeel. Oak, tannin. The bacon fat note is here again, joined by crème brûlée, big peanut brittle character, cinnamon, clove, pepper and cherry.
Super long finish. Ash, tobacco, cinnamon, clove, espresso, chocolate shavings, a touch of mint and rich Luxardo cherry.
This is a delightful, bruising bourbon. Uncle Nearest at its finest.
