Fawn Weaver is the Founder and CEO of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. In 2016, Fawn went to Tennessee to interview the descendents of Nearest Green, a former slave and whiskey distiller, for a book project. Fawn’s work helped reveal the history of the Jack Daniel’s distillery that included Nearest Green as its first Master Distiller and mentor to a young Jack Daniel.


This inspired Fawn to found and launch the Nearest Green Distillery, and Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey in 2017, making Fawn the first African-American woman to head a major spirits brand. Uncle Nearest also became the first American spirits brand with an all-female executive team.


Over a meal at Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina in Nashville, Tennessee, Fawn tells her story of entrepreneurship, innovation, and a real sense of purpose.
