Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Whiskey is distilled, aged and bottled in Tennessee. It is bottled at barrel strength, with proof varying by release. This expression also undergoes a triple filtration process.
Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Bourbon is quite good, but I never quite settle into thinking that it’s amazing, which I know is a vague statement. My main point is that deep down I was hoping that this packed enough goodness to get to “Top Shelf”. It didn’t quite get there, as there are noticeable enough things that hold it back (but not the ABV). At the same time, there are a lot of things that I do like, and show promise for the future.
Little information is provided about what is in a bottle of “black label” Uncle Nearest Single Barrel, but this particular barrel certainly supports the distillery’s claim of bottling whiskeys with character.
