Will your city win this Single Barrel Showdown?
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey announced the nationwide rollout of its Single Barrel Whiskey. But instead of simply rolling out, the Tennessee-based whiskey company is launching in a splashy way with its ‘Single Barrel Showdown: America’s Choice.’ Here’s the deal.
The new whiskey will be released in 5 cities across the United States prior to its national launch. To determine who receives the juice first, Uncle Nearest initiated a public vote which is live through August 2nd. Log into the website, vote for your city to be first in line to carry Uncle Nearest Single Barrel, and you are automatically entered to score a trip.
After August 2nd, Uncle Nearest will announce the winning cities and the contest winner, who will be flown to Nashville and treated to a private distillery tour and tasting at the Shelbyville-based distillery. Uncle Nearest Single Barrel will hit shelves on the distillery’s 4th birthday, August 5th.
Spirits writers, marketers and designers are among the most influential forces in the spirits industry. Their opinions, ideas and creative talents inform and influence consumer perceptions and buying decisions. The John Barleycorn Society was started by a group of spirits journalists seeking to honor excellence in all facets of the industry. The journalists spent several years creating a comprehensive competition that became the John Barleycorn Awards. An elite team of authoritative and influential spirits journalists was selected to administer the flagship component of the Awards, a blind tasting competition destined to become the preeminent arbitrator of spirits taste, quality and character.
