Based out of Frisco, Texas, Devils River Whiskey was founded by Mike Cameron, co-founder of Rebecca Creek Whiskey, and president of the Texas Distilled Spirits Association. Their 90-proof bourbon is crafted from the pure Devils River spring waters. Texas Ranger John Coffee Hays named this great waterway the "Devils River" in 1840. The naturally-filtered limestone spring water is considered the purest water in Texas. In college, Cameron would take frequent trips to the feisty Southwest Texas river, the tributary of the Del Rio that would inspire the name of his new whiskey label. Devil's River whiskey is distilled using a signature method, in traditional copper pot stills designed for distilling complex, flavorful, dark spirits. The Bourbon is crafted from a high-rye proprietary blend of meticulously selected grains, giving the spirit its warm, golden notes. The grains are distilled with proprietary yeast strains designed to boost its bold flavors. The mash is then distilled in traditional copper pot stills and combined with the pure, iron-filtered, limestone-filtered spring water of the whiskey's namesake, before being aged in dark #4 charred oak barrels. This dark char enhance the bourbon's deep amber colors and bolster its sweet flavors. Chill filtered and bottled at 45% ABV you can expect smooth sweet flavors of oak, honey, and caramel. Devil Rivers Bourbon earned five gold medals "Best Bourbons 10 Years and Younger" by four separate spirits competitions, including the 2017 Denver International Spirits Competition, 2017 Los Angeles International Spirits Competition, 2017 New York's Top Fifty and the 2017 International SIP awards.

Devils River Rye Whiskey is their Bourbon's spicier brother. Crafted as Devils River's answer to the recent cry for more rye whiskeys, this small-batch affair is also their way of paying tribute to American whiskey. It consists of a mash of 51% rye, 45% corn, and 4% barley, which results in an exquisitely balanced taste profile with prominent spice, as well as notes of vanilla, apples, and pepper. The spice balances perfectly with the sweetness of honey and maple and brings some undertones of wood and pepper. 

WILD AND FREE

Near the border of Texas and Mexico, lies an intersection of storied history. The Devils River streams wildly and free through hundreds of years of extraordinary discovery; it has charmed Native Americans, cofounded Conquistadors, and tended to Texas Rangers, alike.

And while many may choose to see the natural-flowing waters of the Devils River as a divide – separating lands, people, traditions, and cultures – we know that the iron-free, limestone-filtered spring water we source to make our whiskey brings people together. 

FEATS OF NATURE

Just South-Southwest of the Devils River is another unique feat of nature known for the unusual spiney leafed Agave plant. A national treasure to Mexico and spirits-lovers worldwide, the Blue Agave is renowned for being the primary sources of agave nectar, a syrupy sweetener, and the key ingredient in mezcal, tequila, and now, Devils River Agave Bourbon.

A CELEBRATION OF CULTURES

We celebrate two historically rich byproducts of the nature. The Devils River lures you in with its stunning landscape and pristine tranquil water flowing naturally into the Rio Grande and the highlands of Jalisco in Mexico bears the beautiful Blue Agave with its naturally sweet nectar. We have created a celebration of these two cultures in one unique experience, Devils River Agave Bourbon.

TEXAS-MEXICO

We start with our award-winning,  Devils River Bourbon Whiskey and add a touch of organic, unfiltered Blue Agave nectar from Jalisco, Mexico to create a truly one-of-a-kind Texas-Mexico whiskey experience, Devils River Agave Bourbon Whiskey, 80-proof 40% ABV.

Crafted from hand-selected bourbon barrels and made with 100% Texas grains sourced from a co-op of Texas farmers, Devils River Distiller’s Select is a “grain to glass” Texas Straight Bourbon.

THE LONE STAR STATE HEAT

Distiller’s Select is distilled and aged in the hot Texas climate for over two years in a new #3 charred American oak barrel. The Texas heat naturally accelerates the aging cycle making it the perfect location for our rickhouse. As the whiskey expands deeper into the oak staves, our bourbon developed its dark color and complex flavor.

WATER AND WHISKEY

Once our Distiller determines our whiskey is ready to bottle, Distiller’s Select is then brought to its final 120-proof by marrying the bourbon with spring water from the Devils River Region. Resulting in a well-balanced, high-proof bourbon.
