Now a master distiller, Christine plans on expanding her whiskey line and growing the Silverback brand throughout the USA and internationally. After apprenticing at a distillery in Washington State, she began her research and trials to find the perfect blend of grains and botanicals for her products. ![]() Christine was always called to the mountains, and it was in the highlands of Glencoe, Scotland after a visit to Ben Nevis Distillery, that Christine looked at her husband Denver and said, “I am going to make whiskey.” The seed was planted for Silverback and Christine never looked back. Her great-grandmother made bathtub gin before WWI, on or about 1912…which makes it very coincidental that in the summer of 2012, 100 years after Great-Grammy sipped her own vat-made gin, Christine and her family went on a trip to Europe to explore their Scottish and Irish heritage. His early graying hair, overprotective demeanor and generally grumpy attitude (although sprinkled with unbridled exuberance) contributed to the name.Ĭhristine comes from a line of proud, independent women who made and enjoyed top-line hooch. Why is the distillery named “Silverback”? Silverback is the nick-name given to Christine’s husband, Denver, by their three wonderful, wise-ass daughters.

And it was difficult finding matches to both. Bottle companies sold the bottles, but most did not also sell the caps. We also had a tremendous problem with finding the bottles and caps and some of the ingredients to create the sanitizer. We also couldn't sell any of the product until we had FDA approval. They made us design and print labels for each size bottle. That would have streamlined our label graphics, printing time, and ease of having one label that you highlight which size you were filling. We tried to streamline one label that listed all of the sizes we had bottles for. We were on two different email threads with all the distilleries in Virginia and Pennsylvania all trying to help each other figure out the FDA site and how best to answer the questions to get our approvals. We are a bit unique and have 2 distilleries in 2 different states. Their process was not intuitive to navigate. It couldn't handle all of the distilleries trying to get their approvals through their websites. They were mandating how we had to do many process, labels, and that each distillery that was creating sanitizer had to get approval and each label had to get approved. ![]() They also issued us temporary Industrial DSP's (Distilled Spirits Permits) to be able to make the sanitizer legally until December 2020. To help save time and to streamline the process. If we used that recipe, we were good to go. They immediately switched modes and stepped up to the plate and gave all distilleries one recipe to use.
