Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey

Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey is a 93-proof whiskey distilled, aged and bottled entirely by Uncle Nearest. Each batch is curated by 5th generation Nearest Green descendant and our Master Blender, Victoria Eady Butler, who has been named Master Blender of the Year four times over.

1884 Small Batch presents with a lively nose of honey, warm brown sugar, cedar, orange peel, tobacco flower, ground ginger and white pepper. On the palate, it warms, showing caramel balanced with spicy wood tannins, with notes of baking chocolate, cigar leaf, nougat and cinnamon. The finish is long and smooth. The cinnamon lingers with dark chocolate, oak tannins and maple syrup. A fantastic sipper, yet versatile enough for all your favorite cocktails.

Hella Cocktail Old Fashioned Mixer

This quintessential and storied old fashioned cocktail recipe has infinite variations, many inspired by regional ingredients. This premium cocktail syrup makes it easy to mix a proper Old Fashioned that is delightfully well balanced. Feel free to substitute a bourbon cocktail recipe for any aged spirit like rum or tequila.

Hella Cocktail Aromatic Bitters

Our Aromatic bitters are really well balanced. They have the quintessential aromatic notes of cinnamon, clove and Jamaican allspice with the depth and kick of black peppercorns and caraway. By using wormwood in addition to Gentian root the bitter finish is prominent and complex without being overwhelming. A true classic.
