  • [Barrel No. 008] This is a single barrel product, so of course your mileage may vary, but it’s far and away the best from Uncle Nearest I’ve tasted to date.

  • By Scott Bernard Nelson
  • [Barrel No. 007] A quality whiskey for $79 a bottle in 2023 is something to be applauded. So if you can find this barrel-proof offering, buy it.

  • By Nick Beiter
  • [Barrel No. 008] It’s an interesting sip for sure, and satisfies the brand’s claim of identifying whiskeys with character to be bottled as single barrels.

  • [Barrel No. 007] This release is a winner. Bold, textured whiskey with a decadent combination of tannin, dessert notes and baking spice. Delicious.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Rich toffee and honey, pound cake and cocoa are clear right away. A touch of tobacco and great maple character. Rich oak, a bit tannic on the nose.

  • Taste:

    Powerful on the palate, this has an incredibly satisfying viscosity when it comes to mouthfeel. Cinnamon roll notes meet with brown sugar, tobacco, raisin bread and a bold cherry note.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, char-driven with a good deal of clove, honey, tobacco and bitter oak.

  • Overall:

    This release is a winner. Bold, textured whiskey with a decadent combination of tannin, dessert notes and baking spice. Delicious.
