Love and Whiskey uncovers the lost story of Nearest Green, the enslaved African American who inspired and taught legendary distiller and whiskey-maker Jack Daniel everything he knew, and who changed American history forever.

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is a staple of the American identity, and a brand internationally recognised as synonymous with the U.S. However, the history of Jack Daniel's beginnings has always been shrouded in mystery.

Until very recently, only a handful of people knew that the legacy of Tennessee whiskey began with one man — an African American named Nearest Green.

In Love and Whiskey, entrepreneur, distiller, and author Fawn Weaver sheds light on the long-neglected story of Nearest Green.

With her own personal insight, Weaver tells us how Green came to inspire and teach Jack Daniel his world-changing distillation process, and how the world, in turn, came to forget Green's name altogether.
