Green taught the process to a young Jack Daniel, but his contribution was erased from the historical record for over a century. The 777 designation carries the brand's numerological identity — seven representing completion and legacy. The Lost Chapter series represents the most premium and allocated expressions in the Uncle Nearest lineup, bottled at full proof without dilution to preserve the complete character of the blend. At 60.8% ABV this is among the highest-proof expressions Uncle Nearest has released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and the charcoal-mellowed sweetness of Tennessee whiskey at full proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full and concentrated — brown sugar, baking spice, dried fruit, and warm leather from the high-proof blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and powerful — the Lincoln County Process character sustained through a complex, warming close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, Shelbyville, Tennessee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tennessee Whiskey — Lost Chapter Series, Limited Anniversary Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60.8% (121.6 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who was Nearest Green?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Nathan Nearest Green was an enslaved man at a Lynchburg, Tennessee farm who mastered the Lincoln County Process charcoal mellowing technique and taught it to a young Jack Daniel.
