Bingham's Bourbon Original Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Ryan Bingham

Bingham's Bourbon Original Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey is Ryan Bingham's own whiskey — an 80 proof (40% ABV) 750mL Texas straight bourbon made from Texas-grown corn, rye, and malted barley, aged in new American white oak barrels, and certified Certified Texas Whiskey™ by the Texas Whiskey Association (distilled, aged, and bottled entirely in Texas). Bingham — the Academy Award– and Grammy–winning singer-songwriter behind "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart, actor on Yellowstone, and former professional bull rider raised in West Texas and New Mexico ranching communities — turned down brand endorsements to build his own bottle, personally helping craft and approve the whiskey. Small-batch, limited release, with the brand's cowboy-skull "outlaw" label art. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Outlaw's Own Bourbon

Bingham's stated goal for the whiskey: "enough kick and flavor to sip on the rocks, but smooth enough for a celebratory shot at the bar." He toured distilleries nationwide before choosing to build the brand in Texas, insisting on ownership and knowing exactly what's in the bottle.

Tasting Notes

Retailer consensus (quoting brand-adjacent copy): a nose of toasted oak, sweet vanilla, subtle leather, and burnt sugar; a palate of warm caramel, dried cherries, cracked pepper, and honeyed grain; a finish of baking spice, tobacco, and oak char — "smooth yet rugged."

How to Enjoy

Neat or on the rocks for the full Texas character — and it earns its place in an Old Fashioned or whiskey sour.
