Still Austin Limited Release Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey

Unleash the bold spirit of Texas with Still Austin Limited Release Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey. Crafted by Still Austin Whiskey Co. in Austin, Texas, this 116-proof (58% ABV) single-barrel bourbon, released in limited batches, is a grain-to-glass masterpiece. Made from 70% Texas-grown white corn, 25% rye, and 5% malted barley, it’s aged at least 2 years in charred American oak under Texas’s intense climate, amplifying its rich flavors. Hand-selected by Master Blender Nancy Fraley for its exceptional character, each barrel yields a unique, non-chill filtered pour that showcases the distillery’s slow water reduction process, enhancing caramel and vanilla notes. Sip it neat to savor its robust depth or add water to tame the heat. Ever tasted a bourbon this untamed? Priced at $65, it’s a collector’s gem. Act fast—this lone star burns bright but brief.

Nose: Caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak burst forth, with hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. It’s a warm, inviting tease.

Palate: Bold and complex, with rich toffee, butterscotch, and pecan pie. Spiced oak, dark cherries, and a touch of leather dance with a peppery rye kick.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering sweetness, robust oakiness, and a subtle spiciness that begs another sip.

Pair this bourbon with smoked ribs—the toffee notes love the savory char. Want a bite? Try aged cheddar; it lifts the spice. For dessert, a dark chocolate tart echoes the palate’s richness. Feeling bold? Grilled brisket with a pepper glaze ties the finish into a Texas feast.
