Devils River Small Batch Texas Rye Whiskey / 45% / 0.75l

Devil's River Distillery is an investment by Mike Cameron, previously co-founder of Rebecca Creek Distillery.

Originally operating in Dallas (Texas), since December 2020 its headquarters is San Antonio, specifically a historic building in the city center (Burns Building) renovated and adapted for the needs of whiskey production. The name of the distillery refers to the "Devil's River" flowing through the city, from which the plant draws water for production. Devils River whiskey debuted at the end of 2017 in two versions - Small Batch Texas Bourbon and Small Batch Texas Rye. In both cases, despite the term "Texas", the whiskey came from undisclosed distilleries and was aged in barrels with a fourth degree of charring. In the rye whiskey formula, rye takes up 51%, corn 45% and malted barley 4%.
