2021 Texas Whiskey Festival Announces Its Winners
The Texas Whiskey Festival has announced the winners of the annual competition of the best Texas Whiskeys.
Each year the Texas Whiskey Festival hosts a competition to determine who has the best Texas Bourbon, Rye, and Malt Whiskey. With a panel of judges, they conduct the competition with a method known as blind judging. The brands and specific whiskeys they are tasting are unknown to the judges. “Our panel of judges smell and taste their way through each whiskey, rating the aroma, taste complexity, and finish,” said Co-Founder Jake Clements in a prepared statement.

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup Still Austin Bourbon
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla and slowly bring mixture to a low boil.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until yolks are pale in color.
Slowly add hot milk mixture to egg yolks in batches to temper the eggs and whisk until combined.
Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat until slightly thick and coats the back of a spoon but does not boil. (If using a candy thermometer, mixture should reach 160 degrees.)
