Jackson recently revealed his own premium crafted whiskey known as Silverbelly Whiskey. Naming the whiskey after the color of his cowboy hat, he partnered with Silver Screen Bottling Co. for the liquor release.
The Kentucky bourbon boasts a sweet, smooth, and spicy taste with brown sugar, sweet apple, cherry, and honey aroma. The 91-proof drink is available in Tennessee and soon other states, and you can pre-order the spirit HERE.
Mattie Jackson Selecman, who is the singer’s daughter and a best-selling author, notes that the drink is “Crafted in honor of classic, bourbon style whiskey.” She continues by saying, “Silverbelly tips its hat to the spirit at the heart of this country. Its smooth texture and medium-light body make it perfect to sip neat at the end of a long day or to raise in a toast of celebration, mixed in your favorite Old Fashioned or Manhattan cocktail. With a subtle kiss of oak and traditional flavors of caramel, spiced apples, and toasty brown sugar, Silverbelly is as American as whiskey comes—a true taste of home.”
Like his whiskey, Jackson’s songs often reflect this feeling of home, which has brought him to fame. In celebration of his career, the country singer makes the release more meaningful as the initial batch is named after his ’90s hit song “Here In The Real World.” Thus, the whiskey also serves as a collector’s item, remembering his success.
