TX Blended Whiskey 750ML

TX Blended Whiskey 750ML is a 41% ABV American blended whiskey from Fort Worth, Texas, produced by Firestone & Robertson Distilling Company. This expression earned Double Gold and Best American Craft Whiskey at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, establishing itself as a serious contender among American blends.Quick Facts: ABV: 41% (82 Proof)  |  Origin: Fort Worth, Texas, USA  |  Style: American Blended Whiskey (NAS)  |  Distillery: Firestone & Robertson Distilling CompanyProduction & HeritageFirestone & Robertson Distilling Company operates out of Fort Worth, Texas, where the brand developed TX Blended Whiskey over two years of experimentation with the stated goal of rivaling the best Scottish, Irish, and Canadian blends. The whiskey is a proprietary combination of straight bourbon whiskey (with rye as the secondary grain in its mashbill), mature premium whiskey aged in used bourbon casks, and corn-based distilled grain spirit — the latter comprising roughly 60% of the final blend. This high proportion of neutral grain spirit gives the whiskey its notably soft, approachable character, distinguishing it from heavier bourbon-forward blends on the market.Tasting NotesAroma: Vanilla bean leads, followed by fresh pear and a gentle sweetness that suggests baked fruit. There is a subtle undercurrent of warm spice that develops as the whiskey opens up in the glass.Taste: The entry is soft and slightly fruity, with apple cinnamon giving way to rich honey butter and ripe banana across the mid-palate. Caramel and brown sugar build toward the peak, with a pecan-pie richness that ties the sweeter elements together without becoming cloying.Finish: The finish runs long and smooth, with virtually no burn — a hallmark of the blended style. A light cinnamon warmth lingers alongside traces of vanilla and maple, tapering off with a pleasant, almost creamy texture.How to Drink TX BlendedNeat or with a single ice cube is the most direct way to experience the full range of honey, banana, and caramel notes; the lower proof means it rarely needs dilution. For cocktails, consider an Old Fashioned, where the whiskey’s inherent sweetness complements the bitters beautifully; a Whiskey Sour, where the soft, fruity profile pairs naturally with citrus; or an Apple Cider Hot Toddy, where the apple-cinnamon character in the blend reinforces seasonal spice.Best For
