SAN ANTONIO, TX, December 17, 2014 – Ranger Creek started operations back in November 2010, and they immediately began filling traditional big barrels with bourbon. After years of waiting that would test the patience of even the strongest willed, the bourbon is finally ready. This new bourbon is a historic milestone for the San Antonio distillery, and a special limited release is set at select Spec’s stores across the state for this Saturday.
.36 White is an award-winning spirit made with premium ingredients. Texas corn plays a prominent role in the sweet, slightly fruity profile.
Sweet tropical notes of ripe mango and dried banana with a hint of vanilla. Smooth and delicate with a light malty sweetness. Soft, balanced and dry with hints of light smoke and roasted chocolate
Texas Rimfire is our single malt scotch-style whiskey, aged in our own used bourbon barrels. Smoked with Texas Mesquite instead of peat, it is a lightly smoked, well-balanced sipping whiskey. Each batch uses approximately 500 pounds of malted barley that is hand-smoked in-house, using our unique cold-smoking technique. The smoked grain becomes part of the mash, creating a delicate well-balanced spirit, familiar to single malt whiskey drinkers, yet completely unique to Texas.
.44 Rye is a 100% rye whiskey aged in our used bourbon barrels. The used barrels produce a more spirit-forward whiskey that allows the flavor of the grain to shine. The third release in our Small Caliber Series is an innovative take on the traditional American whiskey. Rye whiskey has a long history in the United States, which includes George Washington operating the largest distillery of its time. Rye has a distinct flavor that can be diverse and complex. It is often described as spicy or fruity and can manifest as cinnamon, nutmeg, mint, clove or tobacco.
