Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has surpassed a $1 billion valuation, reaching approximately $1.1 billion, and is recognized as the fastest-growing American whiskey brand in history. 
Founded in 2017 by Fawn Weaver, Uncle Nearest honors Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known African American master distiller who taught Jack Daniel the craft of whiskey-making. The brand has expanded its presence to over 30,000 establishments across 12 countries and operates a 432-acre distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee. 

As of 2024, Uncle Nearest is on track to achieve $100 million in revenue, having tripled its sales since 2021. This remarkable growth underscores its status as the fastest-growing American whiskey brand in history.

Following on from the news that a school banned a child with autism participating in a school trip I feel the need to write this. There are boys and girls that nobody invites to birthdays for example. There are kids who want to belong to a team but don't get selected because it is more important to win than include these children. Children with special needs are not rare or strange, they only want what everyone else wants: to be accepted !! 😡Can I ask a question?? Is there anyone willing to copy and paste this post to their wall without sharing it, like I did for a friend?? 💯🙏🧩
