Texas whiskeys have won awards all over the world. Tickets are available at the Texas Whiskey Festival website. The 5th annual Texas Whiskey Festival is the whiskey enthusiasts.

Attendees will sample from a bevy of Texas whiskey purveyors, including the blind tasting winners, who will be on hand to vie for a People’s Choice Award. Time for some Texas Whiskey drnicomartini & TheCoachJimmy are talking about everything you need to know before heading to. The 2022 festival will take place May 13-14 at the Star Hill Ranch, just outside Austin. “Our panel of judges smell and taste their way through each whiskey, rating the aroma, taste, complexity and finish,” Texas Whiskey Festival co-founder and whiskey sommelier Jake Clements said in a release. A panel of judges conducts a blind tasting to make the determinations, meaning they don't know what brands and specific whiskeys they are sampling until after they've sampled each spirit in each category. The Other Whiskeys section includes whiskeys aged in used barrels as well as blended and light whiskeys.ĭevils River Whiskey's Straight Rye Whiskey placed third in the category of the same name.Įach year, the Texas Whiskey Festival hosts a competition to determine which Texas distillers produce the best bourbon, rye and malt whiskeys.
