Best Texas Whiskey in 2021 - Texas Whiskey Festival
Each year the Texas Whiskey Festival hosts a competition to determine who has the best Texas Bourbon, Rye, and Malt Whiskey. With a panel of judges, we conduct the competition with a method known as blind judging. The brands and specific whiskeys they are tasting are unknown to the judges. Our panel of judges smell and taste their way through each whiskey, rating the aroma, taste complexity, and finish.
Other Whiskeys: includes whiskeys aged in used barrels, blended whiskey, and light whiskey.
- Austin 101 Light Whiskey (made grain to glass in Texas)
- Remington Family Distillers Remington Revival
- Rebecca Creek Small Batch
