The first bottle in the series, 'Lost Chapter 1 - 777' (SRP:
$139), will be released on
Friday, July 19. A 7-year-old single
barrel whiskey between 110-120 proof, the bottle celebrates the
seventh anniversary of Uncle Nearest's launch, with only 7,000
bottles available. Those who purchase 'Lost Chapter 1 - 777' -
which will be available at Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, TN, in select markets throughout
the U.S., and online via Reservebar.com - will have access to
a copy of Love & Whiskey and an exclusive link to
download the first lost chapter.
"I've been absolutely floored by the reception of Love &
Whiskey - grateful doesn't even begin to cover it," says
Fawn Weaver. "We've sold out tour
stops across the country, and bookstores can't seem to keep it
stocked as the book continues to fly off the shelves. So, I'm
thrilled to be sharing another piece of the Uncle Nearest story as
we celebrate seven years with the release of the 777 Single
Barrel."
Those who aren't able to get their hands on one of the first
limited edition bottles will still get the chance to unlock the
first lost chapter of Love & Whiskey when they purchase
a bottle of Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Whiskey. New bottles of
Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Whiskey will begin rolling out this
summer featuring a new neck tag with a code that leads to the
exclusive download link for the chapter, further enriching the
experience for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Available in markets across the country and online, this
everyday single barrel is bottled at barrel strength - never
watered down - with varying proof, and is available at an
accessible price point of $89.99. The
whiskey was the most awarded single barrel bourbon of 2023, and has
earned rave reviews and accolades, including receiving a gold medal
at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a platinum
medal and being named Best Bourbon at the 2024 LA Spirits Awards,
receiving a platinum medal and winning Best in Show Tennessee
Whiskey at the 2024 TAG Global Spirits Awards, and more.
"This new release is a testament to our commitment to
excellence, as we waited seven years to bottle this whiskey at the
perfect time," said Victoria Eady
Butler, fifth generation Nearest Green descendant and
four-time Master Blender of the Year recipient. "I hope y'all will
enjoy this special barrel strength single barrel while reading the
rich story of our brand and the profound history of my
great-great-grandfather. I just know he'd love this one."
