Uncle Nearest Whiskey “Meet the Maker” Dinner w/ Jerk Shack Seattle

  • RieImagine Solutions, in collaboration with Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey and Jerk Shack Seattle, successfully organized the "Meet the Maker" Dinner, an intimate and exclusive event held on February 20, 2020.

    This event was a part of Black History Month celebrations and provided a unique opportunity for 55 attendees to engage with Victoria Eady-Butler, the Master Blender and great-great-granddaughter of Nathan "Uncle Nearest" Green, the man credited with teaching Jack Daniel how to distill whiskey.

    The evening featured a curated 4-course dinner paired with selections from Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, held at Jerk Shack Seattle, a renowned Black-owned establishment known for its exceptional Caribbean cuisine. The event was designed to not only celebrate the legacy of Uncle Nearest but also to foster community connections and cross-promotions among local businesses.

  • The "Meet the Maker" Dinner was an overwhelming success, bringing together a diverse group of 55 attendees who left with a deeper appreciation for both the culinary and historical significance of the event.
