In 2016, the legendary Jack Daniel's Whiskey acknowledged that an enslaved man, Nathan "Nearest" Green, taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey. Green has since been honored with his own brand called Uncle Nearest, the fastest growing independent American whiskey brand in U.S. history. "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-host Michelle Miller, who has followed this story for nearly three years, shares how the companies are uniting to inspire a new generation of whiskey pioneers.

  • Why doesn't Jack Daniel's also give Nathan 'Nearest' Green descendants lost revenue since 1875?
  • So glad to hear that this brand is doing so well. When I first heard about it, I bought my son who is in his 30’s and socializes a lot a bottle for one of his birthday presents. He likes it! I told him to buy this bottle when he went to someone’s house as a gift to turn others on to this story. I’m proud to know that it is working. Bravo!

    As a fellow resident of Shelbyville, TN we are so beyond grateful we were chosen to launch this historic brand. Just a note. You all should do a follow up soon. They now have the world's longest bar, over 500 ft that just opened a week ago. That place is crazy busy!
  • Great story! Thanks, CBS! I have purchased Uncle Nearest and plan on buying more for gifts, even though I don't drink. I just want to support the business!
  • What a great story and yes it is past time. We all are equal and we all just need to love one another.
  • @mimi4sure
    I can wait to invest in a bottle of Uncle Nearest Whiskey
  • @tyshaia
    She’s amazing!!! I love this story
  • Figures... takes money to get started... like... Motown money... would’ve been more impressive if it was a everyday black person making these strides...- everyday black person
  • Interesting story. I won't B trying any of their product. Whiskey has the most nastiest, god awful taste. I can't believe people actually drink it.......😟
  • Guess who taught Uncle Nearest. White Scott Irish immigrants who settled in the Appalachian mountains. This is cultural appropriation to pander to minorities.
