Treaty Oak Distilling recently announced a partnership with the highly acclaimed country-rock band, Whisky Meyers to create their first collaboration: Treaty Oak Distilling and Whiskey Myer’s Red Handed Bourbon.

The Texas-based distiller said the bourbon is a 95-proof whiskey made to Treaty Oak Distilling’s specifications by Bardstown Bourbon Company in Kentucky and aged for two years in Kentucky and Texas.

The product will be available starting this month at select retailers in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, Nevada, California and Texas.

“We celebrate our Texas roots every day at Treaty Oak, and partnering with Whiskey Myers, who have seen a meteoric rise since they cut their teeth right here in the bars and venues of Texas – we couldn’t have dreamt of a better partner,” said Tony Gonzales, Chief Marketing Officer of Treaty Oak Distilling, in a prepared statement. “Whiskey Myers embodies the rebel spirit that our Treaty Oak team has – the desire to break from convention and strive for the best, most authentic results. We’re excited to work with them well into the future.”

Whiskey Meyers’ roots can be traced back to East Texas where they got their start. The band is known for its high-energy live shows and unique sound and prides itself on authenticity, collaboration and innovation.

“It may surprise some people that, despite our name, we actually haven’t always been big whiskey drinkers. We’ve had other opportunities to collaborate with whiskey brands over the years, but we never found the right fit – until we met the team at Treaty Oak Distilling,” said lead guitarist John Jeffers of Whiskey Myers. “We connected with the people behind the brand immediately and related to everything they stand for – so much so that it inspired us to learn more about the spirit and find a drink we really love. We’re excited to share it with our fans.”

Treaty Oak Distilling and Whiskey Meyers’ Red Handed Bourbon is the first collaboration to come from the partnership. The bourbon is a new take on Treaty Oak Distilling’s already popular Red Handed offering. It has a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% barley and comes in at 95 proof.

It has notes of honey that lead into hints of caramel, kettle corn and cured tobacco, according to the brand. It prices around $40.
