Uncle Nearest, born Nathan “Nearest” Green, was an enslaved man who became the first known African American master distiller, teaching Jack Daniel the art of whiskey-making in the mid-1800s. His legacy, long overshadowed, was rediscovered in recent years, and his contributions are now honored through the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey brand. The book, Love & Whiskey by Fawn Weaver tells the amazing story of the friendship of Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniel and how & why she created the distillery. Recently, my brother from Papa Lou’s Wine & Spirits had the opportunity to tour the Uncle Nearest distillery, exploring the rich history and craftsmanship behind the brand.
Now available at Papa Lou’s.

Fall release Sake has arrived!

Hiyaoroshi is a general term referring to sake that has been pasteurized once in the winter and then allowed to mature over the summer before distribution in autumn. The Japan Sake Brewers Association designates September 9th as the official start for Hiyaoroshi sales. (Essentially aged Namazume)
September 9th is known as Kiku-no-Sekku (“Chrysanthemum Festival”), where hundreds of chrysanthemums are displayed around various venues and chrysanthemum sake is served. The chrysanthemum (kiku) was brought to Japan from China during the Nara period. In 1183, it was adopted as the Imperial Seal of Japan, and during the Meiji period no one but the Emperor could use it. Nowadays it still represents the authority of the emperor and you can see it everywhere in Japan.

Aromas are forward, fresh, and fruity in the nose with notes of sweet melon, cherries, and hints of vanilla. Flavors on the palate evoke feelings of the season with pumpkin pie, roasted nuts, and stewed plums. This sake is medium-bodied and accented by medium acidity, showing classic Jozen minerality and a lingering dry finish. Additional 7 months of aging adds depth and roundness.

Shirataki Shuzo, founded in 1855, is based in Echigo Yuzawa, in the Niigata Prefecture. It is located in the heart of the Japanese Alps, in an area called “Snow Country.” Each spring, the snowpack melts, providing an abundance of clear natural spring water. This water runs through a coal seam providing a natural filtration process that accentuates the taste and quality of the water. This very soft water is the secret behind the very light, elegant, pretty style of sake made at Shirataki. The town of Echigo Yuzawa is home to “Koshihikari” a famous high-quality rice brand in Japan.

40th Anniversary Release...Nostalgie is produced in small batches with a 14 month extraction time made from organically grown Black & English Walnuts. It’s a sought after, not so easy to get delicacy that tastes great on its own, over ice-cream or blended into your favorite cocktail. We like to use it in place of vermouth in a Manahattan. As descrbibed by Kara Newman of the Wine Enthusiast “A ribbon of silky-smooth milk chocolate ends with a lip-smacking caraway and fennel seed exhale. This makes for an ideal fireside sipper.” Get yours at Papa Lou’s Wine & Spirits
