*Nearest Green, affectionately nicknamed Uncle Nearest by his friends and family in Lynchburg, Tennessee, is the world’s first known African American master distiller. Nearest is credited with helping perfect the globally recognized Lincoln County Process, which is the defining distinction between Kentucky Bourbon from Tennessee Whiskey. This unique filtering of whiskey through sugar maple charcoal was named after the county where Nearest lived and made his highly regarded whiskey.

Nearest Green Distillery, a 323-acre Tennessee Walking Horse farm that has been dubbed by the press as “Malt Disney World,” was purchased in 2017 by Uncle Nearest, Inc. and opened for public tours in 2019. https://unclenearest.com/

**Established in 2019, Drunk Chicken Cigars are handmade in the U.S.A. to create premium flavor profiles.  Every combination of tobacco leaf, including the filler, binder, and wrapper, was chosen to produce an assortment of smooth, rich, and savory cigars with a variety of customers in mind. The mission of the Drunk Chicken Cigars family is to produce premium cigars that can be smoked anytime of the day. Our cigars have tones ranging from spicy black pepper, coffee, earthiness, and dark and creamy-chocolate, which can accompany your breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening nightcap. In fact, our cigars are “Nubalicious”… so good you will smoke it to a nub. https://drunkchickencigars.com/
