Still Austin Distillery Reserve Series Ex White Port Rye Whiskey

A bold and highly experimental release from Still Austin’s Distillery Reserve Series, built on 100% Texas-grown Brasetto rye and aged around 3 years before finishing in rare White Port casks. Unlike heavier red wine finishes, White Port brings a brighter, more aromatic influence—lifting the whiskey with citrus, floral, and stone fruit notes. This is a high-proof, limited distillery release that leans into contrast: spicy Texas rye intensity balanced by elegant, Old World wine cask refinement.

Distillery Information

Still Austin Whiskey Co., founded in 2017, is a grain-to-glass distillery based in Austin, Texas, known for using 100% locally grown grains and producing all spirits in-house. As the first legal distillery within Austin city limits since Prohibition, it quickly built a reputation for innovation and quality. Their Distillery Reserve Series serves as a creative playground, where unique mash bills and experimental cask finishes are explored in small, limited releases. The White Port finish stands out as one of the rarer techniques in whiskey, offering a lighter and more aromatic alternative to traditional wine cask finishes. Texas’ intense climate accelerates aging, giving even younger whiskey a bold and concentrated profile. This release reflects Still Austin’s philosophy of blending tradition with experimentation—delivering a whiskey that is both expressive and unconventional.
