@southern_living: Since 2016, Fawn Weaver has been obsessed with uncovering the true story of Nearest Green, an enslaved man who helped teach Jack Daniel the complicated process of making whiskey. Along the way, Fawn became so invested in her research that she bought the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniel and Nearest Green worked together, and she’s since launched the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey brand, which is winning awards and making serious waves in the spirits business. Her new book, now a New York Times bestseller, is called “Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest.” Listen to her full conversation with Southern Living Editor-in-Chief Sid Evans on Biscuits & Jam. #tennesseewhiskey #jackdaniels #whiskey #nearestgreen #tennessee
