Merry Christmas from the Hargis Family to yours!

We had an incredible time sitting down with the team at the Distilled Bourbon Podcast to talk all things Silk Velvet Whiskey—from its rich history and legacy to the journey of bringing it back to life. It was an amazing opportunity to share our passion and the story behind Henderson's own legendary bourbon.

A special thank you to Jacob Call for joining us and sharing his expertise and insight into what makes Silk Velvet truly special. And, of course, a big thank you to the Distilled Bourbon Podcast for having us on and giving us the chance to connect with bourbon lovers everywhere.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it! 🥃

A major bourbon brand is back from obscurity and everyone wants it! Silk Velvet was born in the 1800's and went dormant just before prohibition. Now its back...

🎉 What an Incredible Launch Day! 🎉

Yesterday was nothing short of amazing. Silk Velvet Whiskey officially returned, and thanks to all of you, we SOLD OUT everywhere! We are beyond grateful for the overwhelming support from Henderson and bourbon lovers across Kentucky.

We loved getting to meet so many of you at the bottle signings and celebrating together last night. Seeing the excitement and pride for this legendary bourbon means the world to us. Rest assured, we’re already working hard to restock as quickly as possible—stay tuned for updates!

Today, we’re also honoring a special piece of Silk Velvet history. On December 10, 1829, Colonel A.S.

Yesterday’s incredible turnout was the perfect tribute to the man who started it all.

Thank you again for making this launch unforgettable. Silk Velvet is back, and this is only the beginning. Raise a glass to Col. Winstead and to all of you who made this possible. Cheers! 🥃✨

🚨 Let’s Talk Bourbon 🚨

We’ve shared the history, the story, and the design, but now it’s time to talk about what’s inside each bottle of Silk Velvet.

Every drop of our bourbon has been crafted by Jacob Call, an 8th-generation master distiller and one of the most accomplished names in bourbon today. Jacob has been at the helm of every Silk Velvet barrel, ensuring the quality and legacy of this historic brand are honored with each release. With several of his bourbons named among the Top 20 Whiskies in the World by Whiskey Advocate, Jacob’s expertise and passion are unmatched.

The barrels used for Silk Velvet are hand-selected by the Hargis family in collaboration with Jacob Call, ensuring every bottle reflects the bold, smooth character and meticulous care defining Silk Velvet—a bourbon that would make Colonel A.S. Winstead proud. Our inaugural Single Barrel release features a 6-year-old, 107-proof bourbon, crafted from a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, aged to perfection in #4 charred white oak barrels.

Silk Velvet isn’t just a revival; it’s a testament to history, heritage, and the unmatched craftsmanship of one of the best distillers of his generation. Get ready to Experience the Revival—launching December 9th! 🥃✨
