Devils River
Barrel Strength Texas Bourbon Whiskey (1.75L)
(1.75l,
58.5%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
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.

"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
