We do know that he did not share in the typical rigors and horrors of plantation life as a field hand. Aside from his whiskey expertise, who was he really as a person ? How did he see himself and his sense of self worth.

With the humanizing of Nathan Green, comes a sense of mystique. Nathan Green represents the ultimate underdog story in that in the midst of this nation's dark history and 'ultimate sin' was a man that was able to create a superior product enjoyed by millions. What the story also encapsulates is yet another aspect of American exceptionalism. Second, I recommend Quorum followed by Ashton Asymmetry, My Father, and San Cristobal Quintessen. I recommend first and foremost Kentucky Fire as smoked by John Evans due to Kentucky bordering Tennessee and sharing a legacy in Kentucky and Tennessee bourbons and whiskies.

With dimmed lights, and a few Godiva chocolates to add to the caramel taste, Uncle Nearest is topped off with being paired with select cigars. Or better yet, Jamaican steamed red snapper with West African Jollof rice, and Indian naan bread. After consuming a bold meal, such as gumbo, prepared like only the Gulf Coast can prepare it. It provokes a sense of nostalgic transportation into a simpler place in time. I would recommend a light jazz, classic 70's or 80's soft rock & soul, or even coffeeshop hip hop, while consuming Uncle Nearest. Uncle Nearest is a mellow relaxing type of whiskey, to be consumed under a state of peace, as opposed to consuming in the midst of celebratory raucous. Mainly history contained in a bottle, committed to excellence. Uncle Nearest represents a host of factors. Just as with Nathan Green, Frank Wilson never lived to see the impact of his creation. How ironic that Frank Wilson was the father of Fawn Weaver. The actual album was officially released in England in 1979 due to 'Do I Love You' being a classic hit in that country. It is the 10th most expensive vinyl that’s ever been sold, but it was never released in the US. It became the most expensive Motown vinyl ever sold when a record dealer from Leicestershire, UK, bought the record for £25,742 the equivalence of $33,640 in US dollars. The other landed at a famous English Northern soul nightclub in Wigan, England, where the song became a cult classic in the 1960s and ‘70s. It is believed that one of those two vinyl albums are in the private collection of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. As few as two are reported to have survived with the rest being intentionally destroyed when Wilson made the decision to be a Motown producer rather than a singer. Only 250 demo copies of the 7” vinyl record were ever pressed. The song, “Do I Love You,' was written and performed by Wilson, and maintains the record as the most expensive Motown vinyl ever sold. The second commercial, which was released during the Corona Virus pandemic features the music of legendary Motown writer and producer, Frank Wilson.
