Welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living.

I'm your host, Sid Evans, and today I'm talking

with a remarkable woman who has rewritten the history of one of the most iconic whiskey brands in the world.

Since 2016, Fawn Weaver has been obsessed with uncovering the true story of Nearest Green, a former slave who helped teach Jack Daniel the complicated process of making

whiskey. Along the way, Fawn became so invested in her research that she bought the farm in

Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniel and Nearest Green worked together, and she since

launched the Uncle Nearest Premium Whisky brand, which is winning awards and making serious waves in the spirits business.

Fawn stopped by the Southern Living Offices on her recent book tour,

so we had this conversation in our studio,

and her personal journey is just as amazing as the man she's writing about.

Her new book, now a New York Times bestseller,

is called Love and Whiskey, the remarkable true story of Jack Daniel, his master distiller,

Nearest Green, and the improbable rise of Uncle Nearest. We're going to talk about all that,

the foundation she created for Nearest Green's descendants,

and why she grew up with people like Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson at her kitchen table,

all on this week's Biscuits and Jam.
