While traveling abroad with her husband in 2016, Fawn Weaver became fixated on a New York Times article telling the little-known story of Nearest Green, a formerly enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel—yes, that Jack Daniel—how to make Tennessee whiskey.

I visited their distillery in Tennessee. Great ambience and experience. Their tour guides specifically emphasized that Nearest was a slave under Dan Call, but a paid employee under Jack Daniels. Film shown during the tour emphasized that the two were friendly.
