Celebrating Creativity and Heritage: The Taste of Uncle Nearest Experience with Cherish the Artist

In the ever-evolving world of brand experiences, moments that unite and empower participants hold a special place in our hearts. This is one reason, among countless others, why we are endlessly grateful for the opportunity to engage in uplifting, strategizing, connecting, and celebrating with the community. Witnessing people channel their innate talents in harmony with their life's purpose is truly inspiring.

As we embarked on the initial stages of organizing the Taste of Uncle Nearest experience at the Taste of Lauderdale Lakes Festival, we were drawn to the idea of incorporating a live artistic element. We reached out to South Florida's cherished artist, Cherish, knowing that her unique ability to capture the spirit of Uncle Nearest would enhance the event.

True to her reputation, Cherish masterfully brought the essence of Uncle Nearest to life on canvas with a stunning hand-painted depiction of the original Uncle Nearest bottle.

What makes this collaboration particularly meaningful is the serendipitous choice of painting the first bottle that introduced us to Uncle Nearest—a choice that aligns perfectly with celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Nearest Green Distillery and the fifth year working with the brand. Cherish's artwork was right on time, capturing the history and tradition that Uncle Nearest represents.

We are immensely thankful to Cherish for her time, talent, and courage to paint live, brilliantly manifesting the vision of our event. Her work not only adds a dynamic layer to the tasting experience but also promises to leave an indelible mark on audiences worldwide. We eagerly anticipate seeing her beautiful masterpieces appreciated across the globe, as they continue to honor and celebrate the legacy of Uncle Nearest.

In a world where creativity meets heritage, the Taste of Uncle Nearest experience stands out as a testament to what can be achieved when passion and purpose converge. With partners like Cherish, we are reminded of the power of art to connect us to our roots, amplify our stories, and celebrate our shared journey.
