Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Dark, rich amber; the deepest colour in the Uncle Nearest range, reflecting the concentration of hand-selected premium barrels
- Nose
- Pleasant orange peel, fresh spices, and maple. Dill and caramel well folded aromatically
- Palate
- Not too sweet but gorgeous notes of cinnamon, coffee, and chocolate with peppery heat. Brown spice and Saigon cinnamon under layers of caramelised sugar and dark fruit. Bold, cask-strength whiskey with warm baking spices. First nationwide release of the Master Blend — 8,888 bottles symbolizing 8 years of the brand. Named World's Best Bourbon at 2025 Bartender Spirits Awards
- Finish
- Pleasant bite of heat on the finish that keeps the spice coming. Long and warming with coffee, dark chocolate, and oak persistence
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
