Celebrating Virginia Spirits Month: Silverback Spirits Spotlight

September is Virginia Spirits Month and with that, we're putting the spotlight to our well loved, best selling bottles! πŸ’™βœ¨β 

Starting off with the classic, Beringei Vodka! Our cocktail king!

β€œBERINGEI” is the scientific name shared by all Mountain and Eastern Lowland Gorillas. We are proud to craft an American Vodka from pure mountain water and 100% sweet white corn. The sweet flavorful character of this spirit delights at every sip, swallow, and dare we say, gulp.

Our vodka is the perfect cocktail spirit! Stop by the tasting room and try one of our best selling cocktails! Bottles of Beringei Vodka are always available at our tasting rooms to purchase as well! πŸ˜‰


Whether you're a gin aficionado or a newbie to the juniper world, this one's tailored for all tastes! πŸ™Œ

Our Strange Monkey Gin is a delightful twist that surprises even non-gin drinkers. We've retained the essence of traditional gin with the traditional vapor-distillation method, but our flavor is purely an American one, citrus forward without the overpowering piney juniper punch.

With its vibrant citrus notes and perfectly balanced botanical blend, it's a spirit that'll dance on your palate and elevate your cocktails to new heights.

At our craft distillery, we're all about tradition. No bags of botanicals steeped like tea, and no outsourcing to add gin flavor. Strange Monkey uses traditional distillation methods that have stood the test of time, but flavors that our Master Distiller and customers enjoy today!


The Queen of the Silverback Jungle, Master Distiller Christine Riggleman’s own award winning single barrel bourbon!

This master distiller select bourbon is a single barrel release of Silverback's finest whiskey. It all started as an accident, with a leaky barrel that became the best whiskey Christine ever tasted- to an almost annual release.

The first reserve release in 2018, was the first whiskey to be named after a woman master distiller. That release went on to win best bourbon at the New Orleans Bourbon festival in 2019.

A new batch will be out VERY SOON! Stay tuned on our social media accounts to keep yourself updated! πŸ˜‰


Land ho! The treasure of this spirit lies in the richness of flavor!

Master Distiller Lauren's maiden voyage -- this spirit was crafted with love and thought from recipe to fermentation and distillation, she charted the course for production of this incredible rum. You hold the first spirit crafted from start to finish by one of the country’s few female master distillers. Already an accomplished and award-winning whiskey distiller, Lauren wanted to enter the world of craft rum, a small-but-growing segment of craft distilling.

Silverback Rum is fermented from grade A blackstrap molasses, and is flavorful and distinct, meant to stand out in a cocktail or enjoyed neat.

Our rum shares much of the DNA of our whiskeys β€” Blue Ridge Mountain water, column distillation, choice yeast, and top-notch distillers.
