The biddies are on summer break! But, don't worry -- we know there's no rest for the wine and spirits :) This is one of our all time most listened to episodes: the story of Uncle Nearest, Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey, born Nathan Green - an enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel how to distill. He also made his own delicious whiskeys and his recipes and style has been resurrected by the Uncle Nearest label. Tune in for all the details!

In this episode we talk about how Jack Daniel left home as a young boy and was taken in by a pastor with a distillery side hustle run by a master distiller and enslaved man named Nathan "Nearest" Green, also known as Uncle Nearest. Young Jack became the assistant to Uncle Nearest and Uncle Nearest became like a father to Jack. When Jack was an adult, he took the opportunity to buy the distillery and took care of Nearest and his family for generations to come. The story of Uncle Nearest was lost until the 150th anniversary of Jack Daniels Whiskey when the New York Times released an article about the true history of the company. An author named Fawn Weaver read this article and had to know more.Set on writing a book on the amazing story of Jack Daniel and Uncle Nearest, Fawn traveled to Lynchburg, TN and ended up buying the farm that housed the original distillery. It didn't take long before she knew her true calling was in starting a whiskey company to honor Nearest Green and that's how Uncle Nearest Whiskey was born.Listen to hear more about this tale of love and respect in an unexpected time!Uncle Nearest Whiskey: https://unclenearest.com/Jack Daniels Coffee: https://www.jackdanielscoffee.com/Further media:https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/26/dining/jack-daniels-whiskey-nearis-green-slave.htmlhttps://gastropod.com/the-secret-history-of-the-slave-behind-jack-daniels-whiskey/https://www.npr.org/2021/10/01/1042481944/uncle-nearest-premium-whiskey-fawn-weaver-Buy a mystery box of past products that we have tried on the podcast!

Forget what you thought you knew about Tennessee Whiskey. Up until today, you may not have known that the Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey wasn't the big-name brand you thought. Instead, it was an African American man by the name of Nathan "Nearest" Green, that began distilling as a slave. He became known as Uncle Nearest and for years, it wasn't realized how iconic he was to the whiskey making process. Fast forward to today, where the distillery named after him features an award-winning Master Blender in Victoria Eady Butler, who is Nearest Green's great-great-granddaughter.   We sat down for an interview with Victoria Eady Butler to talk a variety of things. However, it wasn't all whiskey, as we started off talking about her beloved Tennessee Titans. That included a little discussion on rookie quarterback Will Levis, running back Derrick Henry, and her expectations for this year. Victoria is a diehard fan and season ticket holder. Her passion for the Titans is almost as strong as her passion for whiskey.  Old-Fashioned Football and the master blender of Uncle Nearest distillery talk about the history of Nearest Green. We also talk about the distillery and how Fawn Weaver started it all in 2017. The history is rich and the whiskey is premium. The whole story, distillery, and the whiskey are phenomenal.  Contests Shady May $500 Contest - http://sg.pn/shady Join the SGPN community #DegensOnly Discuss with fellow degens on Discord - https://sg.pn/discord SGPN Merch Store - https://sg.pn/store Download The Free SGPN App - https://sgpn.app Check out the Sports Gambling Podcast on YouTube - https://sg.pn/YouTube Check out our website - http://sportsgamblingpodcast.com Support us by supporting our partners EdgeBoost - Double your bet with no interest! - https://sg.pn/edge ShadyRays.com code SGPN - 50% OFF 2 Pairs Tawkify.com/SGPN - 20% off when you become a client Underdog Fantasy code SGPN - 100% Deposit Match up to $100 - https://sg.pn/underdog Watch Clips From Old-Fashioned Football YouTube - www.youtube.com/@Old-FashionedFootball   Follow The Sports Gambling Podcast On Social Media Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/OldFashionedFB   Follow The Hosts On Social Media Miranda - http://www.twitter.com/jmarkswifey Justin Mark - http://www.twitter.com/JMarkFootball   Read & Discuss - Join the conversation Website - https://www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com Discord - https://sg.pn/discord  Reddit - https://sg.pn/reddit Learn more about your ad choices.

The story of how Eddie Simeon and his two best friends turned a hipster hobby into a multi-million dollar business is, dare we say, hella good. Simeon, along with Jomaree Pinkard and Tobin Ludwig are the founders of Hella Cocktail Co., a brand of premium crafted products designed to democratize and elevate cocktail culture. Launched in 2011, Hella Cocktail Co. markets botanically-inspired bitters and mixers along with ready-to-drink sparkling apéritifs admired for their flavor and versatility. The products are currently sold in over 20,000 stores, bars, hotels, and restaurants. Over the past 12 years, the co-founders have pursued a thoughtful, and occasionally unorthodox, growth strategy that has prioritized strong unit economics and profitability. Eddie describes the approach as one in which the company has been “willing to be more patient to be less wrong.” Last year, Uncle Nearest Ventures – the investment arm of Uncle Nearest Whiskey focused on funding minority-founded, owned and led spirit companies – acquired a $5 million stake in Hella Cocktail Co. In a press release, Uncle Nearest CEO Fawn Weaver praised Simeon, Pinkard and Ludwig, who are of Mexican, African American and Jewish descent, respectively, for “bootstrapp[ing] this brand for a decade, never compromising on quality or messaging.”   In this episode, Simeon chronicles the company's development, from the early days of blending bitters in his Brooklyn apartment to why the brand's first retailer was a furniture store to the synergistic relationship with Uncle Nearest and how Hella's three-founder team has been its backbone through it all. Show notes: 0:44: Interview: Eddie Simeon, Co-Founder, Hella Cocktail Co. – Taste Radio editor Ray Latif met with Simeon at Expo West 2023, where the entrepreneur spoke about how he met co-founders Tobin Ludwig and Jomaree Pinkard and how their collective passion for DIY projects and video production and an “entrepreneurial seizure” spawned Hella Cocktail Co. He also explained how they leaned on each other's skill sets to launch the brand, why they named the company “Hella,” the evolution of its package design and why they have long embraced the idea of “you don't want to be on a long road to a small house.” Later, he explained why Hella was a cash flow business for its first seven years, how embracing self-learning helped the company land business deals with Delta Airlines and TGIF, insights from managing a diverse channel strategy, why Uncle Nearest CEO Fawn Weaver loved investing in a brand with three founders and why he's bullish on using fractional resources to fill staffing needs.

For Fawn Weaver the story of Uncle Nearest needed to be told. Learn how Fawn, with no distilling background, turned this story into one of the fastest growing Whiskey distilleries in America. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom and Pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [WyattWorks Ad] Dave Young: Steven, we've been recording these podcasts for a while now. And I think it's about time we just stopped and had a nice drink. Any objections? Stephen Semple: Got a bottle right here. Dave Young: Got a bottle... ooh, Uncle Nearest. Stephen Semple: Uncle Nearest. Dave Young: Uncle Nearest. There's got to be a story there. Stephen Semple: There's an awesome story with Uncle Nearest Tennessee whiskey. Dave Young: All right, let's hear it. Stephen Semple: But before we get into it, I think we need to let people know both you and I actually have got a little bit of background when it comes to whiskeys. Dave Young: A little bit, a little bit. We've both been through the whiskey som the whiskey marketing school in Austin, Texas, has a program to train people to be whiskey sommeliers. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah. And at the end of this, this is going to be a two-parter because at the end of this, we're going to invite two other whiskey somms to join us. One, a partner of ours, Gary Bernier and my girlfriend, Morning Mays, who are also both soms and the four of us are going to do a tasting together and let everyone know what we think of this whiskey and I haven't even cracked the label on it. Dave Young: Oh, that sounds like fun. Stephen Semple: First to the story, this whiskey was founded by a lady by the name of Fawn Weaver in 2017. And they've won a ton of awards for this whiskey. At the time of this podcast, they've also had tremendous growth. They've had 11 quarters of triple digit growth. So they have been just killing it. In March of 2021, about four years after their launch, they had sold 1.5 million bottles of Uncle Nearest Whiskey. Dave Young: Wait, when were they launched? Stephen Semple: They were launched in 2017. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So basically four years later, one and a half million bottles had been sold. Dave Young: Amazing. Stephen Semple: Here's the funny thing. Fawn has no background in distilling, none. She likes whiskey. Her favorite are high proof bourbons, drinks them neat, but no background in the whiskey business whatsoever. Now the closest she had come, she had had a successful business in PR and was a real innovator in product placement on social media. She had also worked for some high end hotels and restaurants, but before entering the whiskey business, she was best known for some books that she wrote on marriage. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Her affair with this, pardon that pon just talking about marriage, but her affair with this whiskey starts back when she's reading an article in the New York Times. She's on vacation in Asia and she's reading the New York Times and she sees this picture of Jack Daniels in an article about this black man, Nearest Green. And the article is not kind to Jack Daniels, talks about how Nearest Green is a black man and a former slave and is really not kind to Jack Daniels, but she looks at the picture and she says, "Something's not quite correct in the picture," because it's the picture of Jack Daniels leadership team and right there in the center of the picture, right beside Jack is Nearest Green. Stephen Semple:

Former Gaston County Sheriff deputy Wes Golden sits down with our boys in the studio this week. He was nice enough to share a bottle of Uncle Nearest Whiskey as the four reminisce about old times, good and bad. The gang was all ears as Wes talks about surviving COVID and his staycation on Uncle Sam's dime. Did Wes ever get smashed out? What is smashed out you ask? Well, listen in and enjoy the ride. Support the show

Can you guess my favorite podcast of all-time (besides my own of course)? Here's a hint…it's a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements they built. Each episode of the “How I Built This” podcast features a compelling story about someone who builds a successful company from the ground up, with each guest having a unique backstory. The host is Guy Raz, a longtime NPR correspondent and journalist, who is a true master at helping each founder weave their story together by fielding questions that add color and dimension to their experiences. Not counting replays, duplicated guests from live events like the How I Built This Summit, or different versions like the pandemic-era “how I built resilience”, the popular podcast has about 215 unique episodes. Within that large library of episodes, “How I Built This” has highlighted around 50 CPG brands, which doesn't consider serial entrepreneurs like Gary Vaynerchuk, that has founded a CPG brand, or grocery retailers that have their own CPG private labels. Since I believe current CPG entrepreneurs will love “How I Built This” for the insights and advice, and aspiring CPG entrepreneurs will find it equally captivating and inspirational, I wanted to help those new to podcast and share my five favorite episodes that highlighted CPG brands.

Jenna’s drinking some Uncle Nearest Whiskey with Victoria Butler, Master Blender behind the award winning and fastest growing spirit ever. Nathan “Nearest” Green, who was enslaved until 1865, and the man that taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey is the great-great-grandfather of Butler. Whiskey may run in her blood, but the journey to becoming a Master Blender is anything, but ordinary. Listen to hear how Butler didn’t realize her family history was unique, and what she would say to Nearest if she could.

In this episode I have the pleasure with speaking with Sailor Guevara who is a Uncle Nearest rep, who shares the amazing story of Nathaniel "Nearest" Green a formerly enslaved man who taught a young Jack Daniel the craft of distilling. She also discusses her new love for fine cigars. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kev-stone3/support

In this episode, Matt talks to Fawn Weaver. Fawn Weaver is the CEO of Uncle Nearest Whiskey and she is working to ensure the legacy of Nathan Green lives on through whiskey.  Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is inspired by the best whiskey-maker the world never knew, the first known African-American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. The Uncle Nearest brand, wholly owned by Uncle Nearest, Inc., an all minority-led business, encompasses a premium aged whiskey with a blend of 8- to 14- year old, an 11-year-old minimum age single barrel, and a 7-year-old small batch offering, all mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, a unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal. This process has been confirmed to have been brought to Tennessee by enslaved people and taught by Nearest Green to the most famous Tennessee Whiskey maker of all time. Uncle Nearest is distilled, aged, bottled and hand-labeled in Tennessee.
