Devils River

Based in Frisco, Texas, Devils River Whiskey was founded by Mike Cameron, co-founder of Rebecca Creek Whiskey, and president of the Texas Distilled Spirits Association. Their 90-proof bourbon is crafted from the pure Devils River spring waters. The illustrious Texas Ranger John Coffee Hays was one of the first explorers to come across it and named this impressive waterway the "Devils River" in 1840. Nowadays the naturally-filtered limestone spring water is considered the purest water in Texas.In college, Cameron would take frequent trips to the feisty Southwest Texas river, the tributary of the Del Rio that would inspire the name of his new whiskey label as well as provide a pure foundation for the whiskey. Devils River whiskey is distilled using a signature method, in traditional copper pot stills designed for distilling complex, flavorful, dark spirits.At the heart of the Devils River Coffee Bourbon expression is their own award-winning small-batch Bourbon that is crafted from a high-rye proprietary blend of meticulously selected grains, giving the spirit its warm, golden notes. The grains are distilled with proprietary yeast strains designed to boost its bold flavors. The mash is then distilled in traditional copper pot stills and combined with the pure, iron-filtered, limestone-filtered spring water of the whiskeys namesake, before being aged in dark #4 charred oak barrels. This dark char enhance the bourbons deep amber colors and bolster its sweet, honey, caramel, and oak flavors.Then comes the coffee, a Vienna Roast blend of beans from a San Antonio roaster that have been sourced from Honduras, Colombia, and Brazil. These get steeped in the bourbon using the cold brew technique, which takes more than 24 hours using low temperatures. Finally, the liquid is married with 100 percent organic blue Weber agave nectar. Bottled at 80 proof, it balances the spicy high-rye bourbon notes with the rich coffee flavor.Get your bottle today!
