or gz 002703 everybody Hey everybody, welcome to another Whiskey Quiki, and today we're going to be reviewing a new whiskey,

0:44.8

a brand of whiskey, a whole line of whiskey that we've actually never done on the show before,

0:48.8

which is from Uncle Nearest. So this one's a little bit different because everything from Uncle Nearest,

0:53.4

they're very proud to be all in Tennessee and everything like that.

This one, on the other hand, is not. Their rye is actually sourced from Canada.

Or contract or whatever it is. Correct. Thank you for saying that as well. But this one also kind

1:55.5

goes against the grain, if you will, of what they've typically been doing where they cut everything down. This is one of

their first and only barrel-proof releases. So this one is barrel-proof at 118.4-proof.
