Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, owner of one of the fastest-growing whiskey brands in the US, will buy vodka maker Square One Organic Spirits, cementing its founder’s vision to own a bigger share of the bar.
“It was important that we grew to have more than whiskey in our portfolio, and one that’s culturally relevant” Uncle Nearest founder Fawn Weaver said in an interview. “It’s the key for this company to remain independent.”
