Texas Whiskey Festival Blend #1

The first-ever blend of Texas Whiskeys released by an independent bottler. A blend of Ironroot Republic Distilling, Balcones Distilling, and Andalusia Whiskey Co..

The concept was created and led by Co-Founder Jake Clements. Then blended with Ironroot & Crowded Barrel and released as part of the Crowded Barrels Alliance series.

We announced the release at the second Texas Whiskey Festival in 2019, with it selling out a short month later.

Released – April 2019

Tasting Notes

This whiskey kicks open the door like a Texan roughneck wearing boots of black molasses and pipe tobacco. Sliding up to the bar, it perches thick and heavy. A coin spins across the wood and buys a whole bottle.

A pour, and a layer of sweet coffee and spice hang in the air.

Patiently, a sip. Barrel char bitter and a worn leather satchel tug on memories of better days. Another drink. A bit more this time. Soft caramel and vanilla peek out from behind the veil.

“She was the best of me…”

Silence falls over the room as it rises and fills a glass for everyone at the bar. Bottle empty, it glides out the door on a trail of mesquite-black and honey-gold.
