15 Years of Texas Whiskey

Texas is booming as a whiskey region, with distilleries all over
the Lone Star State. That history only goes back about 15 years,
when pioneers like Balcones Distilling and Garrison Brothers
started out. During the recent 15th anniversary celebrations at
Balcones, Texas Whiskey Festival co-founder Jake Clements
moderated a panel (and tasting) on the first 15 years of Texas
whiskey. We’re bringing you that discussion this week on
WhiskyCast In-Depth, with panelists Jared Himstedt of Balcones,
Dan Garrison of Garrison Brothers, Ironroot Republic’s Robert
Likarish, and Ty Phelps of Andalusia Whiskey. In the news, The
Lakes Distillery in England is being sold, while Edrington is
selling off its Noble Oak American Whiskey brand.
