Uncle Nearest Receiver Files Letter of Intent to Sell the Whiskey Brand
Nine months after being named receiver of Uncle Nearest, Inc., Phillip G. Young, Jr., filed a non-binding letter of intent to sell the embattled whiskey brand this past Friday. The filing comes just three days after the case’s presiding judge denied founder Fawn Weaver’s motion to reverse the company’s receivership. Young will potentially hand all assets of the company — with the exception of three — to an undisclosed, African-American-owned investment firm, should the court approve the sale.

Uncle Nearest Dispute Escalates as Judge Dismisses Co-Founder’s Bankruptcy Case; Lender Fight Continues
UPDATE 3/19/26: After an expedited hearing this morning, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Suzanne H. Bauknight granted the motion to dismiss brought by receiver Phillip Young. According to court documents, Bauknight ruled that Uncle Nearest co-founder Fawn Weaver was not authorized to file bankruptcy petitions while under the control of a receiver. The court stated that by filing the Chapter 11 petition earlier this week, Weaver violated U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley Jr.’s order that put the receivership in place, which only permitted her to market and manage the Uncle Nearest brand. As a result, the receivership under Young remains intact.
