The Ultimate Canvas for Ultra-Smooth Spirits and Traditional Moonshine
If you are looking to craft a spirit with exceptional clarity, clean sweetness, and an unbelievably smooth finish, Silver King Heirloom White Corn is your ultimate mash bill partner.
Originating in the late 1800s, Silver King is a legendary open-pollinated heirloom white dent corn that once dominated the Northern Corn Belt. Unlike standard yellow field corns that can introduce heavy, rustic, or dominant grain notes, Silver King is prized by distillers for its refined, delicate, and elegant flavor profile. It acts as a pristine canvas, letting your craftsmanship and yeast character truly shine.
Why Distillers Choose Silver King White Corn
-
Clean, Crisp Sweetness: Silver King brings a incredibly bright, subtly sweet, and mildly fruity flavor profile to your mash. It lacks the harsh, grassy, or heavy starch notes of modern yellow hybrids, making it the perfect choice for a clean run.
-
The Moonshiner’s Favorite: For generations, white corn has been the gold standard for traditional, unaged moonshine and corn whiskeys. Silver King delivers that classic, authentic “white lightning” taste—yielding a spirit that is incredibly smooth, soft on the palate, and naturally sweet right out of the still.
-
A Gentle Bourbon Maker: When used in a bourbon mash bill, Silver King creates a lighter, softer, and more approachable whiskey. Rather than competing with your oak barrels, this white heirloom lets the rich vanilla, toasted caramel, and soft baking spices of the wood step forward.
-
High, Reliable Starch Conversion: Silver King provides a consistent starch content that translates to excellent conversion rates during your mash cook, ensuring a healthy, vigorous fermentation and a reliable yield.
