Texacraft Bourbon Whiskey
50% ABV (100 proof) | 750mL | Aged minimum 2 years in new white oak — Texacraft Straight Bourbon Whiskey is Texas bourbon bottled at a full 100 proof — a strong proof-for-price story at its ~$40 range. Aged at least two years in new white oak barrels, it's marketed as a true straight bourbon, not a blend, with a hint of smoke and a touch of oak that reads as a Texas mesquite influence. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Caramel, toasted oak, and a touch of vanilla on the nose; the palate is rich with maple and butterscotch, cinnamon warmth, and a subtle mesquite-smoke undertone; the finish is long and complex with the promised hint of smoke. Among bourbons, Texacraft's 100-proof Texas profile is an outlier — lightly smoked character is unusual for straight bourbon and worth the pour for Texas whiskey fans.
