TX Blended Whiskey is indeed distilled in Texas. The Firestone and Robertson Distilling Co., located in Fort Worth, Texas, is responsible for producing this unique and flavorful whiskey. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to visit the distillery and witness the whiskey-making process firsthand.
The distillery takes great pride in sourcing and blending the finest whiskeys to create their signature TX Blended Whiskey. While some distilleries may produce their own whiskey from start to finish, Firestone and Robertson Distilling Co. has chosen a different approach. They have carefully selected and blended a combination of whiskeys from different distilleries to create their proprietary blend.
One of the components of this blend is straight bourbon. Bourbon is a type of whiskey that must be made in the United States and meet certain criteria, such as being made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels. The straight bourbon used in TX Blended Whiskey adds depth and richness to the overall flavor profile.
In addition to the straight bourbon, the blend also includes whiskey that has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels. This aging process imparts unique flavors and characteristics to the whiskey, creating a more complex and nuanced taste.
To further enhance the blend, Firestone and Robertson Distilling Co. incorporates distilled grain spirit into the mix. This adds a touch of smoothness and balance to the final product.
While the individual components of TX Blended Whiskey may come from different distilleries, the blending and bottling process takes place at the Firestone and Robertson Distilling Co. in Texas. This ensures that the final product upholds the distillery's high standards and reflects the unique characteristics of Texas whiskey.
Having personally tasted TX Blended Whiskey, I can attest to its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Its smoothness, rich flavors, and distinct Texan character make it a standout in the world of whiskey. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, TX Blended Whiskey offers a delightful drinking experience that showcases the best of Texas distilling.
