The new version of this story began with a story published in the New York Times on June 25, 2016. Uncle Nearest Distillery – Established 2017 Today, the world knows that boy named Jack as Jasper Newton ‘Jack’ Daniel, founder of Jack Daniel Distillery and his first Master Distiller Nearest Green. Soon thereafter, Jack started a distillery across town with Nearest as his Master Distiller. One day Call’s wife gave the preacher a choice, “Choose the cloth and being married or choose the distillery.” Call chose to stay married and gave up the distillery operation. Eventually, Call introduced Jack to Green and he soon taught him how to distill whiskey, Tennessee whiskey to be exact. The way the story goes Jack saw smoke emanating from a barn on the other side of the farm where Green was distilling whiskey. The boy worked at the farm doing chores for Call. ![]() ![]() Another person on Call’s farm was a young boy named Jack. Calls distiller, the person we would call the Master Distiller today, was a one-time slave named Nearest Green. Call was a preacher, farmer, and like many in his day a part-time distillery operator.
