The most Texan Rye.

You know how you get all these great ideas when you're having a drink with your buddies? The kinds that involve quitting your boring old day job and reaching for something greater? Most of those grand schemes never see the light of day. The one that came to a group of friends in the heart of Houston, Texas, became Yellow Rose Distilling. The first legal Whiskey distillery in Houston became operational in 2010, named after a folk heroine and nestled smack dab in the middle of the city. Since the launch of their first product in 2012, their juice has brought home several awards, with Yellow Rose opening a tasting room and expanding considerably over the years.

Yellow Rose Harris County Straight Bourbon Whiskey is not your usual Rye. It’s Texan right to its core, adding tasty layers to that classic Rye spice. Double pot-distilled and hand-made in Houston, it’s made from 100% Texas-grown grains. The mash bill consists of Yellow Corn, Elbon rye, and San Jacinsto Malted Barley. This dram then spent 30 months patiently waiting and enduring the southern Texan heat and humidity. It came out at 92 proof, showcasing the Texas terroir and adding an underlying sweetness with flavors of vanilla, caramel, and coconut to that typical Rye spice. Sip on it neat, on the rocks, or make a craft Rye-forward cocktail.
