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. In fact, Burke works as an Americana singer-songwriter based in Nashville. His catalog 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. It’s 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. It bridges the whiskey in your glass with the music that inspired it. Also, that’s a genuinely Nashville idea: a drink, like a song, is best when it comes with a story attached.

Crafted by Timber Creek Distillery

Timber Creek Distillery in Crestview, Florida, distills and bottles Old Familiar. This grain-to-glass craft distillery sits on a working family farm in the Florida Panhandle. As a result, Timber Creek handles every step on site: milling, fermenting, distilling, aging, and bottling. It 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 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.

In short, Old Familiar is best enjoyed in person. Come find it at one of our tours and tastings sessions in Crestview. And if you want spirits made under your own label, explore our private label program. You can also plan a private event here on the farm, or reserve our hands-on bourbon blending experience.
