Arkay Vanilla Whisky All Flavor. No Alcohol. Zero Proof. Zero Guilt.
Review #24 Silk Velvet Single Barrel
Distillery: Western Kentucky Distilling
ABV/Proof: 53.5/107
Age Statement: 7 Years
Mash Bill: 75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barely
If you had the chance to visit or read anything about KBF this year, chances are Silk Velvet came up. Like all great whiskeys, the story behind its name is just as intriguing as the whiskey itself. If you get the chance, visit their website and read more about it. It’s well worth it!
Nose: Oak,spice, vanilla covered cherries, caramel and subtle earthy tones.
Palate: Rich vanilla/caramel combination lead the way, nutmeg spice, oak and subtle hints of cherry from the nose.
Finish: Nutmeg spice leads the way on the finish, offering a warm and lingering hug. Subtle earthy notes from the nose return, joined by hints of oak, and I love how the cherry flavor makes a gentle comeback toward the end.
I rate this at 8.3 out of 10.
I’ll start off by saying this, if you have the chance to pick this up, do it. I truly think as Silk Velvet expands their footprint, this is a sleeping giant. Now I need to get ahold of a Small Batch! Cheers!

Picked up a bottle of the latest Michters Toasted barrel collection. This years release was the sour mash.
Cant wait for next year when they release the toasted barrel rye again!

Found a back up bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. Small Batch today!
Mouth dropping nose. Beautiful strawberries, fragrant Concord grapes. Like a strawberry/grape slushie when you were a kid that makes your mouth water. The nose takes me back to childhood getting a snocone at the water park during summer break.
Holy shit. The drinking experience is a sunrise over a tropical beach. Explosive, like the first rays peer over the horizon. Then as your eyes adjust, the light covers the entire sky and spreads and you start hearing the birds and waves crash on the beach. Chewy, oaky, dark fruity, viscous, explosive, balanced, this bourbon is perfect. The remnants of the pour leave my mouth watering while also drying my tongue. It leaves me addicted to try more but I have to force myself to hold back and still enjoy the lingering finish that this bottle provides.
This is probably the most “experience” I’ve ever had from a bottle of bourbon. Definitely top 3 bottles I’ve ever had. Have you ever had a day so perfect that you wish you could bottle it up and save for another day? Michters 20 is that perfectly bottled day.
