Whiskey Roundup - Texas Whiskey

The great state of Texas has a lot to offer, and the least of which is whiskey. I have had the opportunity to sample some great Texas whiskeys and plan to sample even more before I am done. Today, I am

bringing you my favorite Texas Whiskey tweets.


The folks at Balcones have made some excellent whiskeys over the years. I'm partial to Balcones Baby Blue, made with Texas blue corn. So to see a whiskey made using the to one of my favorite Texas beers, I am undoubtedly excited!


For some reason, I never thought of whiskey as a day drinker, just a daily drinker. Now, seeing a bourbon actually named "Day Drinker" changes my whole perspective on how I look at it.

I like to see whiskey distilleries try something new and use different or experimental grains. I wouldn't call a whiskey using 100% Texas grains experimental, but it is certainly different. This is definitely going on the list of whiskeys to hunt down and try. 

When it comes to great Texas Whiskeys, Garrison Bros should be on your list. I have never had anything from them that was disappointing. Keep an eye out for this one if you have not tried it already.

Whiskey Roundup 05/26/19 to 06/01/19

I've been taking some time off the blog to focus on some things. We took a vacation last week, and I'm refreshed and back and ready to go.


The Whiskey Tapes Whiskey RoundupEvery Saturday I go through Twitter with #whiskey and roundup my favorite whiskey articles! These
are my favorites for this week!


This blue corn based bourbon is one of my favorites. As much as I love the smoothness of the wheaters, there's just something about Baby Blue that keeps me coming back!

It's good to see more and more offerings from Ireland getting some attention. Irish Whiskey has been dominated by Jameson and Bushmills. Don't get me wrong, I do like both of those, but I'm glad to see more and offerings take center stage.

I'm familiar with the wines from Napa, but California whiskey is a new avenue for me. I'll have to keep an eye out for these!

This sounds like some quality dad time. There's a restaurant my dad and I like to go for lunch that has pretty good selection of Japanese whiskey. We've never had the chance to enjoy it, but we can still go and look and talk about them.
