She interviewed more than 100 of Nearest Green’s descendants, and many of Jack Daniel’s descendants, and read through thousands of documents.[7]
The book highlights the life and legacy of Nearest Green, who was the world’s first-known African-American master distiller,[8] exploring his bond and friendship with Jack Daniel, including Green’s role teaching Daniel the craft of whiskey distilling and Daniel’s efforts to preserve Green’s legacy.[9]
