Meet Fawn Weaver. Serial entrepreneur, investor, USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, and one bad ass Black woman. She is a risk taker. And why not? Her risks are calculated and more often than not pay off in big ways. She doesn’t look back on old successes or failures, and keeps her eyes fixed squarely on the future.
She loves her life, adores her family and lives in the in the here and now..and right now she is rewriting the history of Uncle Nearest whiskey, the American spirit market, and building an incredible Black-owned brand as the CEO and Founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, and she’s absolutely not stopping there.
For the second year in a row, Uncle Nearest is the most awarded American whiskey or bourbon. They have garnered 85 awards in 2020, including 8 Best in Class and 12 Double Gold, the coveted “World’s Best” by Whisky Magazine and Double Gold from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
They were honored as Wine Enthusiast's Spirit Brand of the Year.
Uncle Nearest 1856 earned a spot on this year's Oprah's Favorite Things list! And not only Oprah’s Favorite Things, but a separate list with the Queen herself saying, “Folks who love diversity in business and a superb drink will be glad to unwrap this gift."
Inc. Magazine honored Uncle Nearest with their Best in Business award.
