Sharon Orlopp’s Reviews > Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest > Status Update

This book is truly a labor of love. It focuses on Nearest, a Black man, who was the major distiller with Jack Daniels in Lynchburg. The author, Fawn Weaver, moves to Lynchburg and gets to know the residents well as she conducts research to better understand Nearest.
