About Silk Velvet Whiskey

Silk Velvet Whiskey is more than just a bourbon—it's a legacy reborn. Originally crafted in 1880 by Colonel A.S. Winstead in Henderson, Kentucky, Silk Velvet quickly became known as "The Smoothest Whiskey in the World." With a history rooted in tradition, innovation, and quality, the brand flourished as a national treasure until Prohibition brought production to a halt. Today, Silk Velvet is proudly revived by the Hargis family and master distiller Jacob Call, an 8th-generation bourbon maker whose family has been crafting whiskey since 1791. With decades of expertise, Jacob ensures every barrel of Silk Velvet upholds the legacy of excellence set over a century ago. Our flagship release is a 6-year-old, 107-proof Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Aged in #4 charred oak barrels, the bourbon boasts floral notes, a rich mouthfeel, and a smooth, velvety finish that pays homage to its name. Silk Velvet is crafted to honor its origins in Henderson while embracing the modern bourbon drinker. From its meticulously designed bottle to its historic revival story, every detail of Silk Velvet tells a tale of heritage and quality. Now available in liquor stores across Kentucky, and online for residents across the state, Silk Velvet Whiskey is ready to make its mark once again. With plans to expand distribution in 2025, we are excited to share this piece of bourbon history with the world. Join us in raising a glass to history, craftsmanship, and the enduring legacy of Kentucky bourbon. Experience the Revival with Silk Velvet Whiskey.
