In celebration of Black History, this week on We Sound Crazy our co-hosts travel down to Shelbyville, Tennessee, and visit the 50 million dollar Nearest Green Distillery to have a sit down with Fawn Weaver, the Founder, CEO, and Chief Historian of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. Find out how Uncle Nearest Green, who was born into slavery, developed the Tennessee Whiskey Process along with mentoring Jasper “Jack” Daniel, founder of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. Fawn Weaver and her team are doing wonderful work building upon Uncle Nearest’s legacy and telling his story properly. Learn how Weaver handles adversity and manages a diverse group of executives breaking through the modern beverage industry and also about her father, late great producer, and songwriter, Frank Wilson, known for classics such as “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)”, “Love Child”, and much more. 

Special thanks to our We Sound Crazy team!
