Still Austin Whiskey Co. is a grain-to-glass distillery located in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. Nestled in the heart of the city, our distillery is a true reflection of the spirit and energy that Austin embodies. We take pride in crafting high-quality whiskey that is accessible to all, capturing the essence of the diverse individuals who call this city home.
When we say “grain-to-glass,” we mean that every step of the whiskey-making process happens right here at our distillery. From sourcing the grains to distilling, aging, and bottling, we do it all under one roof. This allows us to have complete control over the quality and flavor of our whiskey, ensuring that each bottle is a true representation of our craft.
Our journey begins with carefully selected grains, sourced from local Texas farms. We believe in supporting our community and embracing the unique flavors that our region has to offer. By using local grains, we not only contribute to the local economy but also showcase the terroir of Texas in our spirits.
Once the grains arrive at our distillery, we grind them on-site, creating a unique blend of grains that forms the foundation of our whiskey. This blend is then cooked and fermented, transforming the starches into alcohol through the magic of yeast. We take our time during fermentation, allowing the flavors to develop and the yeast to work its magic.
After fermentation, the liquid is distilled in our custom-made copper stills. We carefully monitor the process, making precise cuts to capture only the best and most flavorful portions of the distillate. This attention to detail ensures that our whiskey is smooth, balanced, and full of character.
Once distilled, the whiskey is transferred to American oak barrels, where it begins its aging process. We believe in the art of patience, allowing our whiskey to mature and develop its unique personality over time. The Texas climate plays a significant role in this process, as the hot summers and cool winters result in rapid aging and the extraction of rich flavors from the oak.
Throughout the aging process, we regularly monitor and taste the whiskey, making sure it reaches its full potential before being bottled. We take pride in our hands-on approach, treating each barrel as an individual work of art.
When the time is right, we bottle our whiskey on-site, ensuring that the flavors are preserved and ready to be enjoyed by whiskey enthusiasts near and far. Each bottle is carefully labeled and sealed, a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every drop.
So, where is Still Austin made? It is made right here in Austin, Texas, a city that inspires us and fuels our passion for creating exceptional whiskey. Our distillery is a testament to the spirit of Austin, where musicians, visionaries, lovers, scientists, oddballs, artists, and everyday dreamers can come together to appreciate and savor the art of whiskey-making.
