6 Gifts to Support Black-Owned Businesses This Father's Day

We have curated a list of 6 of our favorite gifts, all from Black-owned businesses, for the father in your life.

 

1. Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey

Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is inspired by the first known Black master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. Uncle Nearest's premium aged whiskey is mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, a unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal. This process has been confirmed to have been brought to Tennessee by enslaved people and taught by Nearest Green to the most famous Tennessee Whiskey maker of all time. Uncle Nearest is owned by Fawn Weaver, and is distilled, aged, bottled and hand-labeled in Tennessee.
