Just finished listening to Love & Whiskey by Fawn Weaver and I really liked it. It is a non-fiction book about the writer discovering that Jack Daniel learned to make wiskey from a slave called Nearest Green. Weaver then goes on a journey to discover more, ending up in Tennesee to meet the descendents of Jack and Nearest. Eventually, she buys a farm and opens up a distillery in honor of Uncle Nearest (as people called him in his day).

I really liked learning this forgotten history. And I am very intersted in making a journey to see the distillery eventually.
