Old Familiar

Old Familiar: A Nashville Storyteller’s Whiskey

“Hi, I’m Matt Burke — a Nashville storyteller with a passion for good music and good whiskey.” That is how this bottle introduces itself, in the words of the man behind it. Burke is a working Americana singer-songwriter based in Nashville, with a catalog that leans into life’s bittersweet moments — including whiskey-soaked tunes like “Whiskey Christmas” and “Coffee, Whiskey & Weed.” Old Familiar is his songbook in spirit form: a whiskey named for the comfort of things you know by heart — a favorite chord, a familiar barstool, a story you have heard a hundred times and still want to hear again.

The label invites you deeper than most: scan the QR code and the bottle connects you straight to the storyteller, bridging the whiskey in your glass with the music that inspired it. It is a genuinely Nashville idea — that a drink, like a song, is best when it comes with a story attached.

Crafted by Timber Creek Distillery

Old Familiar is distilled and bottled by Timber Creek Distillery in Crestview, Florida, a grain-to-glass craft distillery on a working family farm in the Florida Panhandle. Timber Creek handles every step on site — milling, fermenting, distilling, aging, and bottling — and brings that same small-batch care to each private label it produces. The pairing makes sense: a songwriter who does things the honest way, and a distillery that does too. Pour a glass, cue up a record, and let the whiskey do what a good song does — settle in like something you have always known. That is the whole idea of Old Familiar: good music, good whiskey, and the warm feeling of coming back to both.
