Tasting Notes:

First crafted in 1880 in Henderson, Kentucky, Silk Velvet Whiskey has been revived to honor a proud hometown legacy. For our Small Batch Select, 8th-generation Master Distiller Jacob Call blends 12 hand-selected barrels to strike the perfect balance of character and complexity.

This batch brings together bourbons aged 4.5 to 6.5 years in #4 charred American oak, marrying two mashbills — 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley and 78% corn, 13% rye, 9% malted barley. Bottled at 107 proof, the result is a layered whiskey with notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, and a touch of dark fruit. The finish is long, smooth, and true to its name — Silk Velvet.

Revived by the Hargis family, Small Batch Select delivers a timeless Kentucky bourbon experience that bridges history and modern craft.
