Devils River Small Batch Texas Rye Whiskey

Texas Rye Whiskey | 90 Proof | 45% ABV | 750mL | Bold, Spicy & Smooth

Devils River Small Batch Texas Rye Whiskey captures the rugged character of Texas in a distinctive rye-forward expression. Crafted with a mash bill built around 51% rye, 45% corn, and 4% malted barley, this whiskey balances the naturally spicy character of rye with subtle sweetness and a smooth, approachable texture.

The whiskey is crafted using limestone-filtered spring water from the Devils River region and matured in charred American oak, allowing the Texas climate to contribute to its bold character. The result is a rich golden-amber whiskey with an inviting combination of rye spice, oak, caramel, fruit, and vanilla. A proprietary chill-filtration process helps create a polished, smooth finish while retaining the whiskey's flavor.

At 90 proof, Devils River Small Batch Texas Rye Whiskey offers enough spice and character to appeal to rye enthusiasts while maintaining the versatility needed for classic whiskey cocktails. It's equally enjoyable neat, over ice, or as the foundation of an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
