The Uncle Nearest Story They Tried To Bury...

On Episode 6 of the OTF Global Podcast, DL and BLEK go deep into one of the most fascinating and complicated stories in American spirits culture. The rise of Uncle Nearest is not just about whiskey. It is about buried history, reclaimed legacy, and what happens when truth finally gets its moment in the spotlight. The episode traces the overlooked role of Nathan Nearest Green, the enslaved master distiller who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey. For generations his name was erased while the brand he helped build became an American icon. Uncle Nearest emerged as a corrective to that silence, turning a forgotten legacy into one of the fastest growing whiskey brands in the country. But success brings pressure. DL and BLEK unpack the controversy surrounding founder Fawn Weaver and the massive lawsuit that followed. Allegations of financial mismanagement, loan defaults totaling over one hundred million dollars, and a court stepping in to take control of the company raise serious questions about power, growth, and accountability. This episode is about more than a brand in trouble. It is about what happens when history, money, and modern business collide. Who really controls the narrative. Who pays the price when a Black owned success story scales too fast. And whether reclaiming the past is enough to survive the present. All that and more on Episode 6 of the OTF Global Podcast.
