ABOUT UNCLE NEAREST

In Lynchburg, Tennessee, the name Nearest Green carries weight.

“Uncle Nearest” was born Nathan Green on Maryland but nicknamed Uncle Nearest at an early age for reasons that have since been lost to history.

According to the Uncle Nearest website, it’s not clear how or when exactly Uncle Nearest made his way to Tennessee, but what is known that he was the first African-American master distiller on record in the USA. He is also said to be responsible for perfecting the Lincoln County Process, a requirement for spirits to be categorized as Tennessee Whiskey. There is also an incredible tale to be told about Uncle Nearest’s connection to Jack Daniels Whiskey!

ABOUT YOUR HOST

The event is hosted by Fawn Weaver, Chief Historian and Co-Founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. She has been called “the history-changing woman behind Uncle Nearest Whiskey whose diligence and research almost single-handedly altered Jack Daniel’s story of its beginnings” by The Tennessean, and is bound to have some fantastic stories to tell.

WHY HOST A WHISKY THEMED EVENT?

Why host a whiskey themed event? There are a number of reasons, but here are just a few:

• To take the mystery out of the spirit. Many drinkers are intimidated by whiskey and don’t know much about it. For instance, why is it sometimes spelled with an “e” and sometimes without? What’s the difference between whiskey and bourbon or rye? These are just a few of the things you might learn at the event, which will help you gain a better understanding of what this unique spirit actually is.
• To to help you appreciate whiskey. How does one taste whiskey? What should you be looking for in terms of tasting notes and pairings? You’ll learn plenty of invaluable tips at the event.
• Try whiskey drinks. How can whiskey be used in cocktails? You’ll learn plenty of tips and tricks for creating and enjoying cocktails made with whiskey. Expand your palate and cocktail repertoire! T
• Learn how to pair whiskey and food. Most people know a few basics about pairing food and wine, but what about whiskey? During our Women & Whiskey event, you’ll sample different drinks alongside the stellar menu created by Chef JoJo Ruiz. You’ll gain a better appreciation for how whiskey can heighten your culinary experience! 
• Because it’s fun. Learning is extra fun when it involves whiskey. Can’t we all agree on that? You’ll love this educational experience at Lionfish.

When it comes to creative San Diego cuisine, Lionfish Modern Coastal Cuisine offers an experience unlike any other establishment. We hope that you’ll join us for this installment of our popular Women & Whiskey event, which promises to be a deliciously intoxicating evening! Make your reservation here.
