Texas
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Texas is home to a growing craft spirits industry, producing corn-based vodka, straight bourbon whiskey, and agave-derived spirits across the state's varied climate zones. The region's hot summers and limestone-rich soils, conditions that mirror parts of Kentucky and Mexico's agave-growing highlands, have attracted distillers drawn to Texas-grown raw materials. Tito's Handmade Vodka, distilled in Austin using pot stills, established the state as a serious vodka-producing region before craft distilling became widespread nationally. Garrison Brothers, operating outside Fredericksburg in the Hill Country, produces Texas Straight Bourbon aged in the intense heat that accelerates barrel interaction and concentrates flavor. Milam and Greene's Triple Cask expression brings a blending approach to Texas bourbon, while Weber Ranch's 1902 Agave Vodka reflects the state's proximity to agave agriculture along the southern borderlands.
