Uncle Nearest Master Blend Edition (Batch 032) Review
For the highest-end offering in Uncle Nearest’s bourbon lineup, master blender Victoria Eady Butler pulls specific barrels from each batch that she deems to be spectacular, then combines them for this distillery-exclusive release. Batch 32 was bottled at 59 percent ABV, but drinks distinctly below that from a heat perspective. Both nose and palate evolve in an enjoyable journey from buttery caramel sweetness to bold stone fruit, and culminates with a peppery, charred finish. Time to book a trip to Tennessee.
