Inspiring True story of what American Whiskey looks like.
Love and Whiskey was a phenomenal read. I went into this book hoping to learn about Uncle Nearest "the brand", but soon got swept into a composition of hope, love, tenacity and perseverance. Fawn not only gave a thorough genealogy of Nearest Green and his whiskey contributions, but pulls the family tree into rich soils through the pages of this masterpDone. It was the perfect tapestry of America in the south woven with love that transcends color and race, and brushed with nuggets of business acumen and a strong unity in marriage. Well done.
History, Business and Inspiration All Rolled Into A Compelling Story
An inspirational story grounded in history and rolled into lessons on brand building. The story of Nearest Green as researched and told by Fawn is inspirational and the base for building the world's fastest selling whisky. Really well done and meticulously researched. A must read. I highly recommend.
Admiration & Inspiration!
This book isn't just about the love and respect of two individuals that translated to the success of a business but it's a book of determination, admiration, inspiration and motivation. Took me three days to read because it's a real page turner as you're thrust into the story of the past, present and wanting to know what's next for the future. So good, it's a good business strategy book as well! Buy and pay it forward by gifting to others.
Phenomenal! One of the best books I have ever read!
I finished this book in under a week and it is phenomenal. It is such an amazing and fascinating story. I was sad when I was done with the book, although I know the story is not over. I am a whiskey/bourbon lover so that’s what initially had drawn me to the book. But this book is so much more than that. It’s part memoir, part entrepreneur, part whiskey making, and much about black history and the uncovering of the story of Nearest Green who was Jack Daniel’s first master distiller. It’s amazing research, wonderful storytelling, a story of disruption in a dominant white male industry, and a testament of tenacity, perseverance, kindness, transparency, grace, and giving back. “…I will remain steadfast. This mission will remain unchanged, and I will complete the work I set out to do” - Fawn Weaver I enjoyed the story and learned so much! I am in awe of the work that Fawn Weaver and her mighty team accomplished and in a short amount of time! Fawn rewrote an integral part of American history.
