According to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, an organization that tracks alcohol trends, there were 130 craft distilleries in Texas in 2020, ranking the state fourth overall in the country. Consider that most distilleries make multiple spirits, and there are too many individual products to count — especially if you’ve been sampling the goods.
With so much competition across the state, and even more across the country, it’s difficult to stand out. Position yourself in a particular category, like whiskey or the even-narrower bourbon silo, and the ability to innovate becomes exponentially harder. Yet across the state, enterprising distillers continue to find ways to separate themselves from the pack.
