This Texas craft distillery just released a fantastic new bottled-in-bond rye whiskey
in recent months, that’s because there’s been a whole to cover. And it’s not just that the playing field continues to expand—the whiskey coming out of distilleries in the state is, more often than not, very good. One of the best of the bunch isHow to Make an Army & Navy, the Refreshing Gin Cocktail That Evokes the First Days of Spring, which as you can guess is located in Austin, is a decade old now.
Still Austin Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey’s mashbill is 100 percent Texas-grown rye grain. That’s in keeping with the distillery’s commitment to using local grains grown in the Lone Star State, including corn, wheat and barley. That mashbill is not necessarily unusual, but it differs from the commonly found 95/5 rye-barley whiskeys you’ll find from MGP or the just over 51 percent rye “barely legal” whiskeys coming out of Kentucky.
This is not to say that Garrison Brothers is inferior to Still Austin, but that the whiskeys coming out of each distillery could not be more different, something that holds true across the wide landscape of Texas whiskey. In Still Austin’s case, the result of this mixture of science, chemistry, and the untamable force of nature is a tasty rye whiskey that also has a point of view.
