Texas Whiskey: Private Reserve Straight Bourbon

Maverick Whiskey

Howdy, y'all! Today, we're stepping into Samuel Maverick Whiskey Distillery, founded in 2017 by Dr. Ken Maverick and his wife Amy, just a few steps from the Alamo! Ken's the great-great-great-grandson of Samuel Maverick, a San Antonio legend. This Private Reserve Straight Texas Bourbon’s bottled at 90 proof, with a mash bill that’s all about balance: 72% corn, 18% earthy Abruzzi rye, and 10% malted barley. Expect candy-like sweetness upfront, hints of oak, and a spice that lingers from the rye finish. Maverick crafts their bourbon grain-to-glass, bringing local flavor into every bottle. If you’re swingin’ by, don’t forget to check out Devil's River right around the corner for a double Texas whiskey tour! Let me know if you’ve tried it and what you think.
