About the product:

When J.W. Kelly arrived in Chattanooga in September 1866, he opened up a storefront to sell groceries and then expanded into whiskey distribution and opened a distillery. Deep Spring Distillery produced more than ten labels, all named after Tennessee history and locales, including Silver Spring; which was produced from 1900 - 1919.

Silver Spring was originally a corn whiskey. We’ve added an “s” and revised Silver Springs as a sweet corn rye as a nod to its historic predecessor. This Sweet Rye is accomplished with the addition of corn in the mash bill. The rye is housed in #3 charred oak barrels for a minimum of four years. It is finished and bottled here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The end result is a sweet & spicy rye whiskey. Silver Springs Sweet Rye Whiskey is bottled at cask strength.

Tasting Notes: The nose is molasses, burnt sugar, and toffee. The palette is caramel, nougat and hot cinnamon candy. The finish is spicy rye with a long dry finish.
