Really nice for a newer distillery. The 4-grain bourbon is aged 2 years but has good flavor considering it's so young... nice color to. Their honey rye is quite nice, the rye comes thru on the end of it with a real honey sweetness at first. The gin is very citrus forward - not too heavy & mild on the juniper flavor.

Had a great time at this Distillery. My wife absolutely fell in love with their old-fashioned. So much though we bought the small bricks to smoke our glasses at home. Made the trip worthwhile. Our server was informative and patient with us, my wife has a lot of questions. I could see why people would be frustrated with service because the wait staff is fairly small so if they get busy they are in a hurry to get to everybody. One thing you need to be aware of, is they do not serve food invite ABC laws they could only serve 3 oz to patrons. So once you're done with your 3 oz you pretty much in order anything else.

Absolutely awesome place! Highly recommend for great spirits and delicious cocktails! Staff is extremely knowledgeable and special shout out to Trevor who was our bartender and made the experience absolutely amazing with his deep knowledge about the distillery itself as well as all their products! He crafted some amazing cocktails for our party and our entire party hands down decided that it was the best place for spirits! They make their own gin, whiskey, borboun and vodka! You won't regret it! Great place!

The cocktails here are SO tasty!! The Smoked S'mores is the bees knees, so smokey and smooth and sweet with honey aftertaste. Owners are a Mother-Daughter duo with award-winning spirits. You HAVE to check this place out!!

Silverback is hands-down one of my favorite places in Nelson County! The employee's are amazing and the drinks are always great! And their bourbon... Words cannot describe how special their bourbon is!
