TX Whiskey Launches Fifth Edition Of Experimental Series

The makers of TX Whiskey recently announced the launch of TX Straight Rye Whiskey Bottled in Bond, their fifth expression of the TX Experimental Series.

A statement from the Texas whiskey brand notes that their TX Experimental Series features a line of inventive whiskeys that include an Experimental Rye, a High Rye Texas Straight Bourbon, a Blended Straight Bourbon and Bourbon Finished in Rum & Cognac Barrels.

The distiller explained that this new expression is meant to showcase the combination of Texas grain and Texas maturation, highlighting the flavors developed over four summers at TX Whiskey’s Fort Worth distillery, Whiskey Ranch.

And the tasting notes find the Straight Rye to have aromas of light baking spice combined with the fruitiness of banana and apple, which carries through the palate. It has a long finish of floral, caramel and vanilla.

“This experimental release utilizes Texas rye grown for us by a single farm, Sawyer Farms, distilled on our column at Whiskey Ranch within a single season,” said Head Distiller Evan Brewer. “It’s aged for over four years on the second floor of our rickhouse, being subjected to the Texas heat and manic weather. This combination has created a really nice whiskey that we felt was best showcased at 100 proof, with the added distinction of being bottled in bond.”

In all, 1,500 bottles of TX Experimental Series TX Straight Rye Whiskey Bottled in Bond will be available for a suggested retail price of $39.99. The limited release will only be available in 375ml bottles and limited to two per customer in a 30-day period at their Whiskey Ranch location in Fort Worth.
