New York Times bestselling author Fawn Weaver unveils the hidden narrative behind one of America’s most iconic whiskey brands. This book is a vibrant exploration set in the present day, delving into the life and legacy of Nearest Green, the African American distilling genius who played a pivotal role in the creation of the whiskey that bears Jack Daniel's name. Set against the backdrop of Lynchburg, Tennessee, this narrative weaves together a thrilling blend of personal discovery, historical investigation, and the revelation of a story long overshadowed by time. Through extensive research, personal interviews, and the uncovering of long-buried documents, Weaver brings to light not only the remarkable bond between Nearest Green and Jack Daniel but also Daniel’s concerted efforts during his lifetime to ensure Green’s legacy would not be forgotten. This deep respect for his teacher, mentor, and friend was mirrored in Jack's dedication to ensuring that the stories and achievements of Nearest Green's descendants, who continued the tradition of working side by side with Jack and his descendants, would also not be forgotten. Love & Whiskey is more than just a recounting of historical facts; it's a live journey into the heart of storytelling, where every discovery adds a layer to the rich tapestry of American history. Weaver's pursuit highlights the importance of acknowledging those who have shaped our cultural landscape; yet remained in the shadows. As Weaver intertwines her present-day quest with the historical threads of Green and Daniel's lives, she not only pays homage to their legacy but also spearheads the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. This endeavor has not only brought Nearest Green's name to the forefront of the whiskey industry but has also set new records, symbolizing a step forward in recognizing and celebrating African American contributions to the spirit world. Love & Whiskey invites readers to witness a story of enduring friendship, resilience, and the impact of giving credit where it’s long overdue. It's an inspiring tale of how uncovering the past can forge new paths and how the spirit of whiskey has connected lives across generations. Join Fawn Weaver on this extraordinary adventure, as she navigates through the layers of history, friendship, and the unbreakable bonds formed by the legacy of America's native spirit, ensuring the stories of Nearest Green and his descendants live on in the heart of American culture.

Review: BRAVA🥃 - Love & Whiskey Written and narrated by Fawn Weaver A notable quote from Love & Whiskey: “Some things, like good whiskey, just takes time.” And time was needed to make good whiskey and history. Fawn Weaver embodies the essence of divine intervention and Love & Whiskey is the representation of words that God breathed into her with a purpose so profound, unequivocal and intentional that only she could have conceived and nurtured it. It was her purpose and Shelby, TN was her destiny! As I listened to the story, I became captivated with Mrs. Weaver and the dedication and sacrifice it took to write this remarkable tale that trancends whiskey and love, it encompasses friendships, family, legacy, history and truth. Moreover, it chronicles a woman's journey of self-discovery that tested her patience, finances, and at times, her sanity and truth and I love that through it all, her rock and husband, Keith Weaver stayed tried and true, a ride or die that is loyally by her side supporting her vision from the start as his role was instrumental in this journey. Mrs. Weaver understood the assignment when she boldly declared “Uncle Nearest is about more than whiskey, and I’m never going to sell it.” This statement resonated deeply with me. She recognized what many of our ancestors didn’t and that’s: no amount of money could replace a birthright. This narrative is indeed the birthright of the Green family, which Mrs. Weaver has selflessly honored and selflessly bestowed to them. Jeffrey Wright said it best, “We’re victors now, and we can tell these stories and tell them right—tell them freely, properly, in a way that celebrates who we are without bias.” well Mrs. Weaver brought Nearest from obscurity and unapologetically showed the world exactly who this incredible ingenious man, Nearest Green was, never tarnishing anyone else’s reputation or heritage thus solidifying Nearest Green’s legacy loudly, proudly and publicly with pride and authenticity. I loved every moment in this story and await the movie because of course a movie has to be made! Its merits and emotion woven into the narration was palpable and I felt her passion, excitement and determination as she recounted her experience. She transported me to a time when color barriers were nonexistent, challenging the societal norms of the Nearest Green’s era. Mrs. Weaver illustrated how collaboration can foster positive change and love. The town’s embrace of her, her efforts and their eagerness to share tales of Nearest, and their welcoming spirit were beautifully depicted. She had me a lil scarrred at some scenes but when God calls you to walk a predetermined path, one must proceed with faith, knowing divine protection is assured. Love & Whiskey is a divine masterpiece, a love letter crafted with purpose and intention. Thank you Fawn weaver for this monumental story based on man, his friend and making whiskey. Thank you for sharing your journey allowing us to walk with you learning another hidden Black treasure long buried in the earth so deep it took a SHEro to excavate it, dust it off, shine it up so pretty and showcase it to the world. Well done ma’am, well done. I don’t drink whiskey, but in honor of this wonderful story being told, I raise a glass and toast to Fawn Weaver, her team and to the man we all now know as Nearest Green aka Uncle Nearest. Cheers 🥃
Review: A very good whiskey! - Nearest Green Intrigued by a Jack Daniels tour in 2022 and the mention of Uncle Nearest, led us to discover the Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, TN. Another heartwarming discovery was a woman named Fawn Weaver who through years of research uncovered the story behind Jack Daniels #7 whiskey recipe. Uncle Nathan Nearest Green, the mastermind who taught Jack about Whiskey making. A man whose recipe made history for another man. This is also an eye opener for all of us to see how African’s brought to America, and survived torturous journey’s, also brought skill sets that were unknown to Americans, and were sadly not credited to them. Fawn writes with such love and spirit in this book to help readers and lovers of Whiskey and history, know how through families and friendships this book came about. Knowing the full story as of today, this book warmed my heart to see how a true legacy will be known. This is a must read! Once you are finished you’ll want to travel to Tennessee and see Lynchburg and Shelbyville. You will want to walk on the grounds that Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniel walked and see all that is mentioned in this book. Do not miss both Whiskey tours!! It’s a small drive between. If it weren’t for a bar tender at our hotel in Nashville that served us Uncle Nearest Whiskey instead of Jack, I wouldn’t be writing this review. When she mentioned Nearest Green, I said, “Isn’t that the black slave that taught Jack Daniel how to Make whiskey and sour mash”? She said yes! Then my husband and I were all ears! We stayed at the La Quinta in Nashville by the stadium. I don’t remember her name, but we developed a love of Whiskey relationship she led us to Uncle Nearest Distillery, which then prompted me to order my book, Love & Whiskey. I had to pre order it! It wasn’t even in distribution yet!! I received my copy with Fawns signature too in June/24. Take a gander and be pleasantly enchanted by this work of love and passion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love & Whiskey.....Phenomenal!
*by M***S on June 20, 2024*

What a great blend of history, perseverance, hope, legacy, and celebration! Reading *L&W* was a captivating journey through the in-depth story of Nearest Green and the meteoric rise of his namesake through Uncle Nearest Whiskey. Fawn did an excellent job of making me feel like I was right there in Lynchburg, in board meetings, at Green family gatherings, overcoming obstacles, and celebrating the brand's growth—all within just a few short pages! I loved how the book flowed; it was so engaging that I finished it in just a day or two. As a young entrepreneur, it provided a blueprint for perseverance, reminding me that there's "grit in growth." Thank you for allowing me to ride along on this beautiful journey of success, community relations, love, and history!
