Product Description

Tim Smith Southern Reserve Rye: Moonshine Roots, Refined Result

Tim Smith Southern Reserve Rye Whiskey carries the robust, rebellious character of its namesake, the moonshiner from Climax, Virginia who rose to fame as a star of Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners." Tim developed this rye from his own double rye recipe, years in the making, then brought it to life in partnership with Two Trees Distilling Company. It's a whiskey built on real Southern heritage, embodying the same don't-tell-me-what-to-do spirit that made Tim a household name in the world of American distilling.

How Tim Smith Southern Reserve Rye Is Made

This rye whiskey is produced using Two Trees Distilling's signature "Whiskey Time Machine" process, after which the spirit rests in new white oak containers before bottling. That process, paired with Tim's own double rye recipe, delivers a whiskey with real spice and depth despite its relatively short rest. It's bottled at 45% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Golden amber.

Palate: Notes of spicy toasted American oak give way to a gentle, warm finish of sweet rye and caramel.

Food Pairings

The sweet rye and caramel character in this whiskey pairs well with grilled pork ribs, smoked sausage, or a pecan-topped dessert. Its toasted oak notes also complement aged cheddar or a simple charcuterie spread.

Serving Suggestions

Tim Smith Southern Reserve Rye is easy to enjoy neat or on the rocks, letting its caramel sweetness balance the rye spice. It also holds up well in a classic Whiskey Sour or Old Fashioned for those who want its spice and oak character in a stirred cocktail.
