Texas Tuesday x Veterans Day

Today’s bottle is a nod of respect towards the heroes who make our freedom possible, the men and women who have served and continue to serve this great country.

Here in Texas, we’re lucky to have a growing number of veteran-owned distilleries leading the charge, places like Desert Door Distillery in Driftwood, founded by three veterans who turned the wild sotol plant of West Texas into something uniquely Texan. Or Whitmeyer’s Distilling Co. down in Houston, Justice Label Distillery out in Sinton, and 1693 Distillery in Fredericksburg, each proudly veteran-founded and producing fine Texas whiskey that honors craftsmanship, service, and grit.

Many more across the Lone Star State employ veterans on their teams or partner with organizations that give back, raising funds, awareness, and support for those who’ve sacrificed for us all. From Desert Door’s Wild Spirit Wild Places initiative to other Texas distilleries supporting veteran charities, the spirit of service runs deep in our whiskey community.

So today, we raise a glass to those who defend our way of life, past, present, and future. May your courage, honor, and sacrifice never be forgotten.

Cheers to our veterans. Cheers to freedom. Cheers Y’all!

Today we raise a glass to the brave men and women who’ve stood tall for this great nation.

To every Veteran past, present, and future, thank you for answering the call and protecting the freedoms we enjoy every single day.

Here’s to courage, sacrifice, and the red, white, and blue.

Cheers Y’all!

Sometimes the best way to unwind is to keep it simple. A good pour, a steady flame, some good tunes, and a relaxing evening to take it all in. Tonight I’ve got everything I need right here: a solid pour, a fine cigar, my AirPods, and my favorite Zippo in its lighter sheath, keeping that flame right where it belongs.

Speaking of the light sheath, it is built like a tank and made for folks who appreciate quality gear, the TX11 Zippo Lighter Sheath from Tactical Geek adds the perfect touch of practicality and style to any pocket carry setup. Whether I’m lighting up on the porch or by the fire pit, it’s always ready when I am.

Here’s to the simple setups that make the best nights. Cheers Y’all!

Tonight’s pour is the original single barrel, Blanton’s. A Kentucky classic that’s been setting the standard for decades.

But here’s the thing… just like I enjoy a pour of good Texas whiskey, I can appreciate great craftsmanship from anywhere. Because good whiskey doesn’t have borders. It’s found in the passion of the people who make it, whether that’s in Kentucky, Texas, or anywhere in between.

So tonight, I’m raising a glass to all the makers out there who pour their hearts into what they do.

Cheers Y’all!

Texas Whiskey isn’t just one thing, it’s a whole landscape of flavor shaped by the state itself.

The diversity of climate, style, and technique is what sets it apart from whiskey made anywhere else. From the Hill Country’s blazing summers to the Panhandle’s dry winds, Texas barrels see more action in a year than some do in five. And that heat brings bold, honest flavor every time.

Take this Unbendt Bottled in Bond Straight Rye from Lewisville’s Bendt Distilling Co. 100 proof of pure, unblended Texas character. Peppery rye spice, sweet oak, and a richness that could only come from whiskey aged under the Texas sun.

If you want to taste what makes Texas whiskey different, this pour tells the story loud and clear.

Cheers Y’all!

Take Home Thursday

Snapped a few “Shelfies” over at Homeboys and let’s just say… the lineup does not disappoint.

From classics that never miss to bottles you don’t see every day, there’s a little something for every kind of pour.

So here’s the real question…
What are y’all grabbing to take home?

Cheers Y’all!

If it possible to bottle up the sound of Alan Jackson’s music, this would be it. Silverbelly Last Call Whiskey is crafted to celebrate Alan’s 67th birthday and this 2025 allocated release hits all the right notes.

Aged 6.7 years and bottled at 101.7 proof (a nod to his 10/17 birthday), this straight bourbon from the hills of Tennessee carries a mash bill of 66% corn, 29% rye, and 5% barley.

The result? Smooth spice, a touch of sweetness, and a long warm finish that lingers like the last note of a country song.

Only 1,958 bottles were released as a tribute to the year Alan was born. Perfect sip to raise a glass to one of country’s all-time greats. Cheers Y’all!

Big thank you to , , and for sending this beautiful bottle my way. It’s a special one.

If Texas could make Scotch, this would be it.

SWIFT Single Malt out of Driftwood, Texas proves that world class single malt doesn’t have to come from across the pond.

Aged first in Kentucky bourbon barrels and then finished in French Sauternes casks hand selected from Bordeaux, this handcrafted Texas whiskey is as elegant as it is bold. Twice distilled from 100% Scottish malted barley, it balances notes of spiced vanilla, lemon curd, honeysuckle, and buttery caramel for a finish that’s rich and refined.

Swift’s attention to detail, tight copper pot still cuts, precise aging, and a Texas driven spirit make this bottle a quiet masterpiece from the Hill Country.

Cheers Y’all!

Looks like the YouTube TV vs. Disney feud tried to sack my Monday Night Football plans, but I wasn’t about to let that happen. Signed up for Fubo faster than a Dak Prescott checkdown.

Now I’ve got the Cowboys taking on the Cardinals, and this bottle of Maker’s Mark is ready for kickoff. Rocking the blue and silver wax and a Cowboys jersey, this pour came to play. Smooth, bold, and dressed for victory, just how I like my whiskey and my team.

So here’s to good pours, big plays, and hoping the Boys bring home the win tonight.
