Texas, Barrel to Bottle
Texas Ranger John Coffee Hays named the waterway "Devils River" in 1840; nearly two centuries later, San Antonio's Devils River Whiskey named itself for it — and for the limestone spring water the brand calls the purest in Texas. Distiller's Select is the barrel-strength-leaning flagship of the range: hand-selected barrels bottled at a bold 120 proof, built on 100% Texas grains and aged fast in the Texas climate, which drives the spirit deep into the #3 char oak in about two years.

Tasting Notes
Deep copper in the glass; pepper, oak, rye, ripe apple, pear, and vanilla on the nose; a bold palate of charred oak, rye spice, apple, pear, vanilla, and caramel; smooth, warming, clean finish.
How to Enjoy
At 120 proof it rewards a splash of water or a large cube — the water opens the vanilla and fruit underneath the oak. Built for slow sipping; also stands up in a high-proof Old Fashioned.
