The same Devil’s River Texas Bourbon with the volume turned up high.

Devil’s River Whiskey launched their first product — a 90-proof Bourbon — in 2017 using sourced Spirits. President and co-founder Mike Cameron has been driving this upstart Texas-based Spirits company toward nationwide distribution and the opening of their own San Antonio distillery in Q4 of 2019. And they have managed to win a few awards along the way. If the Spirits industry had a “Who to Watch” list, these guys would be on it.

Devil’s River had a huge hit on their hands with the release of their first product — Devil’s River Texas Bourbon. Bottled at 45% ABV, it’s no slouch. So, how do you follow that up?

Devils River Barrel Strength Texas Bourbon Whiskey is the same award-winning Texas Bourbon as their original. The mach bill is the same with 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley. It is aged in the same barrels in the same storage rickhouses. The difference is that this dram is bottled at nearly full cask strength — 58.5% ABV. So, if you’re looking for more of what the Devil has to offer, pull up a glass. And even the Devil will forgive you if you drop a single ice cube in to open up the palate.

SmartAss Corner:
Devil’s River Whiskey takes its name from a limestone spring-fed river system that empties into a reservoir on the Rio Grande about 200 miles west of San Antonio where it gets its water.

Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.

J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
