Davidson Reserve’s award-winning whiskey joins the very small club of Tennessee distilleries that perform every function of the production process on-site. At our facility in West Nashville, we do everything except grow the grain (which is sourced locally from Renfroe Farms just up the road in Huntington), and we’re the first bottled in bond distillery in the state to receive the sought-after designation since the 19th century.
Davidson Tennessee Straight Sour Mash Whiskey is made with a small amount of malt, allowing more flavor from the corn and rye to come through. It is then distilled twice and filtered through virgin Tennessee sugar maple charcoal to provide extra smoothness and a perfect balance to the whiskey. We age our whiskey for a minimum of 4 years in 53 gallon barrels before bottling at 100 proof.

TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Sweet aromas of freshly made maple cookies lead into hints of dried strawberries, with warm crème brûlée.
Palate: Flavors of sweet caramelized sugars and toasted graham crackers advance, with grilled pineapple, stone fruit, peach cobbler and toasted marshmallows developing on the second sip.
Finish: A lingering, pleasing spearmint finish is just long enough to leave you wanting more.
Davidson Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey is made with care to ensure that the true flavors of the grain are not overpowered by the flavors of the oak in which it is aged. The resulting rye is neither overly woody or overwhelmingly spicy, rather a delicate balance of both resulting in a bold, well rounded flavor profile.

DETAILS: Created from a recipe of 100% Rye from Renfroe Farms, a third generation family farm in Huntigdon, TN. Davidson Reserve Rye is a notably different product from most rye whiskey. We mash, ferment and distill our rye whiskey in a process that allows the spirit to develop more candid, fruity flavors.
