WHISKEY INDUSTRY NEWS The Nearest & Jack Advancement Initiative (NJAI) – the first-of-its-kind incubator created by Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey to diversify the current and future leaders in the spirits industry – recently announced the return of the Spirits on the Rise Summit. The two-day event will take place in Lynchburg and Shelbyville on April 15 and 16, and will build upon the success of last year’s summit with more speakers, more networking, and more opportunities for BIPOC businessmen and businesswomen in spirits to learn from panelists and keynote speakers who are experts in their fields.
