A moonshiner's take on America's native spirit
Going legit never tamed Tim Smith — it just gave his recipes a bigger audience. The Southern Reserve Bourbon takes the sweet-corn character of Southern distilling and polishes it into an easy-drinking, full-flavored bourbon: caramelized sugar and vanilla on the nose, a soft wheated roundness on the palate, and a honeyed finish that invites the next pour. It sits comfortably alongside our other bourbons and American whiskeys — see the whole Tim Smith Southern Reserve range for the rye and whiskey expressions.
Tasting Notes
Nose: caramelized sugar and vanilla. Palate: soft and rounded, with a gentle wheated sweetness. Finish: sweet honey, smooth and lingering.
How to Enjoy
This is a neat-or-rocks bourbon first — pour it over a large cube and let the honey notes open up. It also mixes beautifully: the 90-proof body stands up in an Old Fashioned or a whiskey sour without losing its sweetness, and it makes a friendly, approachable bourbon for newcomers.
