Texas whiskey, as we’ve highlighted in the past particularly in regards to bourbon from this state, is an emerging and viable regional American whiskey standard that’s slowly finding its place alongside the heavyweights of Kentucky and Tennessee. There are a number of high quality craft whiskey makers doing their thing in Texas, and a number of them last year joined ranks to create the Texas Whiskey Association. More recently, this new trade group brought forth a new voluntary regional whiskey designation known as Certified Texas Whiskey.
