Whiskey is evolving to connect with a new generation of drinkers and Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey is one of several new expressions that's approachable and made for mixing, making the spirit accessible and enjoyable for a wider audience.
"With the launch of Nearest Green, we are not just expanding our offerings; we are expanding the Uncle Nearest family by reaching new consumers who before may not be looking to spend more than $50 on a bottle," said chief business officer Katharine Jerkens.
To support the introduction of this entry-level whiskey expression, Uncle Nearest is launching the Nearest vs. Everybody Part II campaign with a challenge. The brand will host taste tests in bars across the country, challenging participants to blindly taste Nearest Green Tennessee Whiskey next to go-to well bourbons.
