Silk Velvet Whiskey

04/18/2025

Every barrel tells a story—but only a few make it into a bottle of Silk Velvet. 🥃

When you’ve spent a lifetime in rickhouses, you learn to spot the exceptional. That’s what Jacob Call brings to every pour.

It takes true experience to craft a bourbon worth remembering—and even more to know which barrels are worthy of the name. That’s the difference. That’s Silk Velvet.

It’s the best time of the year — March Madness has arrived! 🏀🔥

We’ve got our brackets (and probably already busted them), but at least the bourbon’s never a gamble. Pour a glass of Silk Velvet, sit back, and enjoy the madness. 🥃

Here’s to buzzer-beaters, Cinderella stories, and smooth sips along the way!

Handwritten orders. A sketched distillery. A bourbon with a legacy built long before today.

Silk Velvet has always been more than just a name—it was sought after then, and it’s making its mark once again. 🥃

A Legacy, Side by Side. 🏺🥃

We had an incredible time at The Pub on Second last night! A huge thank you to Bill and the entire staff for hosting us and giving us the opportunity to share Silk Velvet alongside some outstanding whiskeys. If you haven’t been to The Pub in Owensboro, you’re missing out—great atmosphere, great staff, and even better company.

It was fantastic getting to talk bourbon with everyone who came out. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to do it again! 🥃

From the Archives:
"Silk Velvet is prescribed by Col. Winstead for any ache known to the human family… He says it is undoubtedly a sure shot."
— The Henderson Semi-Weekly Reporter, December 21, 1880

Who are we to disagree with the Colonel? 🥃😉

Silk Velvet is back, and while we can’t officially prescribe it, we highly recommend raising a glass.

"Some bourbons are made for the masses. This one is made for the few who demand more."

Every barrel of Silk Velvet is hand-selected by award-winning Master Distiller Jacob Call and the Hargis family, ensuring only the best make it to the bottle. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just real, unapologetic bourbon—the way it was meant to be.

First crafted in 1880, reborn today with a taste as "Smooth as Silk, Rich as Velvet".

Silk Velvet isn’t just about reviving a historic brand—it’s about honoring it with the expertise of one of bourbon’s oldest family legacies. The Call family has been distilling bourbon since 1791, making them one of the oldest bourbon families in Kentucky. Jacob Call, our 8th-generation master distiller, carries this legacy forward with unmatched skill and passion.

Featured in the latest issue of Whiskey Advocate, Jacob’s story highlights why he is the perfect fit for Silk Velvet. His dedication and craftsmanship ensure each sip honors the legacy of Colonel A.S. Winstead’s original creation.

What a Night to Remember! 🥃✨

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Cap & Cork for hosting an incredible dinner pairing event last night. The food was absolutely phenomenal, and the atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening. A special thank you to Thomason's Barbecue for crafting a mouthwatering BBQ sauce made with Silk Velvet Whiskey that perfectly complemented the pairings, along with their delicious rye bread.

Guests enjoyed cocktails crafted with Silk Velvet and a guided tasting of some of our early releases—barrels 2, 3, and 4—exploring the unique profiles of each. To make the evening even more special, we surprised everyone with a pour from Barrel 1, the rarest and one of the most cherished releases in our journey to date.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for being part of this incredible experience as we celebrated the legacy of Silk Velvet and shared our vision for the future. Here’s to more unforgettable evenings like this one. Cheers! 🥃
