Fawn Weaver
Manage episode 419210022 series 2791883
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.
