Tim Smith Southern Reserve Bourbon Whiskey

Tim Smith is the moonshiner from Climax, Virginia, who learned the trade from his father, ran illegal liquor for years, and became a TV celebrity before going legal with Climax Moonshine, the clear 90-proof corn, rye and barley spirit that still carries his bib overalls, camouflage hat and his dog Camo on every label. Southern Reserve is the bourbon that followed. Climax has been made under contract since the brand launched, first at Belmont Farm in Culpeper County, Virginia, then also at Asheville Distilling in North Carolina starting in 2014 for the southern states, and Southern Reserve Bourbon is listed with Two Trees Distilling Co. in Asheville as its distiller. Smith sells it as a wood-fired bourbon, a nod to the wood-fired stills of his Climax Wood Fired Whiskey line, and it is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) in a 750ml bottle, the same strength as his moonshine. The brand does not publish a mash bill, an age statement or tasting notes, and pitches the bottle as an approachable bourbon for people who found him through the moonshine and want something aged from the same name, priced well under most Kentucky bottles on the shelf.
