For those that want to try Texas whiskeys you should head to the Houston Whiskey Festival. I went the first year and they chose a bad venue that was too small and boy was it packed. Recently I head they changed venues to a bigger one. The seminars were my favorite, distilleries were come and talk and give you a taste of everything, the first year I went Yellow Rose was the best, but they didn't have Rebecca Creek which is my favorite from Texas. To be honest it's really just a one time thing unless your super into whiskey cause it's a bit fancy and expensive. 3rd annual is coming up in march and there are typically discounted tickets on Groupon. That's how we got ours.

Rebecca Creek is not a true Texas Whiskey. They bottled it here, but they send the barrels up north to age. I live near the distillery and done the tour. There are only a handful of true Texas Whiskeys. 1835 is made up north.

Now RC single malt is aged and bottled here in Texas. They showed us some of the barrels when I toured.

I believe Yellow Rose, and Whitmeyer's are truly Texan.

After getting hooked on "Mad Men" on Netflix, I decided to perfect the Old Fashioned.

I tried several rye whiskies and kept getting pointed to Bulleit.



I have to admit though, if I'm not careful it will bite me the next day. Most days I think a good bottle of wine is superior.

Garrison Brothers
Balcones
Ranger Creek
Herman Marshall

Are a few others. Once I learned how to read the label it made sense. Look for where it was aged, where it was distilled. Buffalo trace on the label says aged, distilled, and bottled in Kentucky. 1835 says bottled by 1835 in Lewisville, Tx. If you have Direct TV or Itunes, I highly recommend the documentary Bourbontucky.

Garrisons is good, but a little pricey

I opened my first bottle of Rebecca Creek and I'm impressed. However my pallet is not accustomed to different bourbons

[AgBass01]

Drinking some maker's right now.

[Bud Ellis]

Rebecca's creek is really good

[bowmansdad]

Weller's Special Reserve 90 proof is my new favorite. Quality whiskey for a fair price.

Drove up to whisky hollow in Valley View. Met Les the owner and he is a great guy. Couldn't leave empty handed.
