Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Light amber gold; the lightest expression in the Uncle Nearest range, approachable and inviting
- Nose
- Butterscotch, vanilla, and cinnamon complemented by fresh green apple, stone fruit, and lemon zest. Subtle tobacco and wet stone add complexity
- Palate
- Rich vanilla and freshly baked apple pastry take center stage, balanced by black pepper, orange peel, and leather. Hints of ginger and clove provide pleasant spice. Light body, approachable at 84 proof. Crafted by Victoria Eady Butler as the brand's most accessible expression
- Finish
- Smooth, clean, and slightly spicy finish with balanced warmth. Short to medium length
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
