The Reverend - Sour Mash Whiskey
The Reverend is a small batch, hand-crafted sour mash whiskey that pays homage to seven generations of American distillers and whiskey makers. The Reverend, Daniel Call, mentor to a young Jasper Daniel and friend to trailblazing distiller Nathan Green, gave up his stake in the old No. 7 distillery to live the life of a preacher.
However, his descendants carried on his early legacy of moonshining and whiskey making in Wilkes County, North Carolina, where they produce spirits to this day. This premium whiskey is aged for over four years in new charred oak and first-fill bourbon casks before using the same maple charcoal filtration process that was made famous in Lincoln County, Tennessee, to refine and enhance the spirit after it leaves the barrel.
Aromas of ripe red apples, cinnamon rolls, raisin cake, and fresh ginger give way to robust flavors or roasted pecans, tart cherries, and charred orange peel. The clean finish leaves the drinker with hints of brown sugar-glazed peaches, cured tobacco, rye spice and toasted oak.
