and I don’t doubt for a moment that the advice video Fawn dropped for other new Black owned spirits brands at that time is what set things off. #UncleNearest

I'm so mad that no one I know knows or cares anything about all the Uncle Nearest drama. It's me and, like, two women on TikTok. But this story has everything! A CFO who got fired and then still worked for a year. A house in the Hamptons the bank claimed not to know about. Those same bankers

visiting the house. Missing barrels. An annoyed judge. A push for a conservatorship.

The surprise/not surprise guest appearance from Jack Daniel's. Uncle Nearest owing millions and millions of dollars they can't pay back at the moment. People wondering how they were still getting loans.
A lawyer straight up saying that, if white people put Uncle Nearest in a conservatorship and give it to a white person to run, Black people will stop buying it and they will never forgive the conservator, whoever that might be. Cough, cough.

The bank admitting that they'd kind of like to force Uncle Nearest to sell for what the bank is owed, which is way, way less than the company is worth. Speculation that there's already a buyer lined up.

It always seemed strange to me that Jack Daniel's lets Uncle Nearest exist, since their branding is basically "The real Jack Daniel's" and Jack Daniel's normally does a pretty good job of effortlessly crushing their competitors, especially if said competitors try to claim that they're making what

Jack Daniel's makes. So, I've just assumed that Jack Daniel's must have some stake in Uncle Nearest. Finding out in this lawsuit that someone from Jack Daniel's sits on the four person board of Uncle Nearest? Makes me
person board of Uncle Nearest? Makes me more suspicious that I'm right.

So, my thought/guess is that Brown-Forman is the would-be buyer. Uncle Nearest is incredibly successful, but they've left themselves vulnerable as they're trying to grow to meet demand. Why wouldn't Brown-Forman take advantage of that? Plus, that keeps a competitor out of their backyard.

I think Brown-Forman realized there was money to be made from selling good whiskey to Black people, if it were marketed correctly.
So, they let Uncle Nearest give it a go. And they've succeeded. But Brown-Forman was clearly keeping close watch all along. And I just want to speculate about all this!

Don't forget the play of good ole white boy
Shelbyville vs successful badass Black woman. I haven't researched it, but I'll guess that the Shelbyville bank branch has some descendants of some secret society guys in addition to the WLM protest in 2017. So there's that too.

This evening’s pour… #UncleNearest 1884 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Described as a smooth, easy-drinking whiskey with a balanced flavor profile featuring notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of spice, a delicious #TennesseeWhiskey. And I agree, it’s one of the best. (Also like their #RyeWhiskey) #Whiskey
