Jeniâs grandfather always spiked his eggnog with whiskey. (Itâs the Midwestern way â and a holiday non-negotiable.) Our friends at Uncle Nearest blend small-batch, Tennessee whiskey thatâs smooth sipping, soul-warming, and that honors Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller. Weâve made many iterations of our nutmeg-laced boozy custard over the years. But this one steeped in history, tradition, and love, is one youâll never forget.
