Devils River Whiskey To Open Doors of Brand New Distillery
Sinfully Smooth Whiskey is Making Its Way to the Heart of Downtown San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 1, 2020 Devils River Whiskey, maker of premium small batch whiskeys, will soon be announcing the opening of Devils River Distillery. Located in the historic Burns Building at 401 E. Houston Street, the artisan distillery is a premier whiskey experience just steps to the city's bustling San Antonio River Walk and the Alamo.
Devils River Whiskey's new headquarters is much more than a working distillery. In addition to premium tastings and tours of the company's meticulous production process, guests are invited to kick back and enjoy live music on the rooftop, indulge in tempting appetizers and imbibe sinfully smooth cocktails at the 1920s prohibition era bar.
With over 34-million visitors to San Antonio each year, Devils River Distillery is sure to become a destination in the city's revitalized downtown district. "The opening of Devils River Distillery will allow us to be completely produced, distilled, aged, and bottled in San Antonio," says Mike Cameron, co-founder and Head Distiller. "It's a feat we are most proud of."
Capturing the spirit of San Antonio's deep history of prohibition – an era fraught with rebellion against the government's rules over production, importation and the sale of spirits - the Devils River Whiskey team chose the historic Burns Building as the quintessential location for their new home. "Working with the architects, a design team and the historic society, we were able to build out a gorgeous space that remains true to the historic nature of the building," Cameron explains. "Guests will see the building's original copper hardware and the magnificent floor to ceiling columns from 1919."
In designing a state-of-the-art headquarters for their handcrafted whiskey, the Devils River team worked with distillery artisans to custom design equipment imported from Germany's oldest distillery fabricator. At the forefront of the process: tackling the dual challenge of creating an engaging customer experience while making the distillation process as environmentally conscious and sustainable as possible.
Giving back to the Earth and to the local community served as a twofold objective during the course of construction. As distilleries on average can use over 15,000 gallons of non-potable water each day, the Devils River Distillery installed a proprietary system that allows them to recycle and reuse non-potable water.
With one eye on significantly reducing water consumption, the Devils River Whiskey team has also arranged to donate spent grains to area farmers. An essential step in the whiskey making process, once most of the sugars have been extracted from the mash, often a lot of protein remains behind. Substituting spent grains for corn provides cattle producers a less expensive, nutritious feed ingredient that supports production and maintains meat stability.
Devils River Whiskey is proud to be the first nationally distributed brand to call downtown San Antonio home. "Whether you are booking a distillery tour, venue space or looking for a place to sit and enjoy a Texas evening, the Devils River Distillery will be ready with custom cocktails and great food at our elegant 1920s prohibition style bar," says Eric Hundelt, EVP of Sales and Marketing.
When the Devils River Distillery opens its doors later this year, you can indulge in custom cocktails and Devils River Whiskey inspired bites in the tasting room, open Thursdays 4 pm – 8 pm, Fridays 4 pm – 10 pm, and Saturdays 12 pm - 10 pm. Make sure to stop by the Devils River Distillery gift shop to take home a bottle of Devils River Whiskey and merchandise to commemorate the visit.
The Devils River Distillery will be opening soon. Learn more about its grand opening and offerings online at www.DevilsRiverWhiskey.com/Devils-River-Distillery/.

Devils River Distillery Bottles Single Barrel Bourbon
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 30, 2020 Something new is shipping from the Devils River Distillery: a smooth and singular creation just in time for the holidays.
Celebrate the season with the latest innovation from the Devils River family of premium whiskeys: Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a "grain-to-glass" 100% Texas straight bourbon delivering a true, one-of-a-kind taste.
Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is individually bottled at barrel proof from a hand-selected combination of the finest Texas-grown grains. The single barrel approach bestows each bottle with a distinct flavor and, combined with bottling at barrel proof, delivers flavorful and a unique experience. Born and aged for over two years in the blazing heat of the Lone Star State, each exceptional barrel is crafted by Devils River Whiskey head distiller Mike Cameron.
"This is an expression we have been working on for many years," says Mike Cameron, co-founder and president of Devils River Whiskey. "The unique characteristics and complex flavor profile offers a sinfully smooth experience for everyone, from the casual drinker to the bourbon connoisseur."
Devils River Whiskey sources only the finest Texas-grown grains to create the mash bill, making every barrel of Devils River Single Barrel Bourbon genuinely one of a kind. Temperature can play an important role in whiskey distilling, and head distiller Cameron credits the sweltering Texas climate for naturally accelerating the aging cycle of the process. This can ultimately double the aging time of a whiskey in Texas compared to other milder or fluctuating temperature climates.
"Up to 75% of the flavor in whiskey comes from the dark #4 charred oak barrel the whiskey is aged in, this gives Devils River Distillery an advantage to their aging process," said Cameron. Due to the blazing Texas sun, the whiskey extracts more of the complex flavors from the wood staves of the barrel, allowing its distinctive characteristics to shine through.
Texas summers often pass by in a slow haze of heat and humidity, but for Devils River Whiskey, this summer season brought significant growth and innovation. The debut of Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey follows in the footsteps of its award-winning release of Devils River Coffee Bourbon, a sinfully steeped whiskey with exquisite smoothness and coffee forward flavor.
Devils River Coffee Bourbon has taken customers and competitions by storm, winning a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Double Gold at the SIP awards and named Texas Flavored Bourbon of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition.
Starting in December, look for Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey at your favorite local retailers later this month. Head over to www.DevilsRiverWhiskey.com to check store availability near you.
Coming soon in 2021, Devils River Whiskey will introduce its highly anticipated Devils River Distiller's Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Be sure to follow Devils River Whiskey for updates on the launch of Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Distiller's Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Kavalan Launches Limited Edition 'Artist Series'
TAIPEI, Nov. 25, 2020 Kavalan, the pioneering force behind Taiwanese whisky, has launched its "Kavalan Artists Series," a new range of expressions that aims to highlight the fine art of whisky.
The first edition introduces four bottles in collaboration with Master Artist Paul Chiang, who draws creative energy from his homeland, and whose work was selected for interpreting classical music and the natural beauty of Taiwan.
The single-cask, cask-strength whiskies -- Puncheon, Virgin Oak, French Wine Cask, and Peated Malt -- are inspired by the four elements, Ocean, Air, Sunlight, and Mother Earth, each of which plays an essential role in the creation of Kavalan whisky. The distillery will release a total of 198 collector sets, which come with four 700ml bottlings. In addition each set includes a uniquely numbered and signed edition of one of two silkscreen prints by Paul Chiang titled, "Pisilian" or "Mountain Range of Taiwan." Meanwhile, a total of 4,000 individual bottles will be released, bottled at 1,000ml for individual purchase.
Peated Malt is Kavalan's second Shave, Toast, and Rechar (STR) whisky and follows on from the WWA 'World's Best Single Malt' winner, the *Solist Vinho Barrique.
Paul Chiang has been internationally acclaimed across Europe, the US, and Taiwan, embodying an uncompromising pursuit of 'the ideal' that attracted the attention of the Kavalan family.
Kavalan CEO Mr YT Lee said each painting was a labour of love.
"Art, like whisky, has the power to stir deep emotion. But this takes decades of hard work and commitment to mastering your craft," Mr Lee said.
"Take 'Puncheon', which depicts the sea, sky, and stars. Paul painted this work after returning to Taiwan after 30 years, settling on the coast in Taitung. You can feel the euphoria of that time and the beauty of rediscovery."
"We want to bring together great art and our rarest whisky to connoisseurs an expression of the finest artistry. We are honoured to be collaborating with Paul on the inaugural edition."
The Whiskies:
PUNCHEON 50-63% ABV
Painting – Pisilian (Morning Stars over the Coast)
The indigenous name, Pisilian, refers to a stretch of Taiwan's eastern coastline, connecting Kavalan's home in Yilan County with Taitung County where Paul Chiang is based. Kavalan's story, or dream, starts in the Ocean under a starry sky. From here, moisture rises and eventually condenses above Snow Mountain, creating Kavalan's legendary water source.
Product Description
Aged in Puncheon casks, and as rare as deep ocean treasure, this whisky is effortlessly smooth in texture with an ocean of complexity, and waves of tantalising flavour.
Nose:
Roasted biscotti bathed in crème de pêches, smooth vanilla, sweet white peach, and maple syrup.
Palate:
Waves of sweet toffee, white-fleshed nectarine, and tropical fruits and hints of rich nuttiness.
VIRGIN OAK 50-63% ABV
Painting – On Wings of Song
Named after a Felix Mendelssohn piano piece, Paul Chiang's circular brushstrokes imagine effervescent air particles and the beating of wings, creating the sensation of air in motion. The Kavalan dream takes flight in Air, and this painting can be seen as an artistic rendition of whisky's maturation process.
Product Description
Virgin oak barrels form the body of this Kavalan symphony in which sweet notes of tropical fruits and honey are generously infused.
Nose:
Smoked plum, purple grape, buttery vanilla, rich beeswax, wafts of crisp floral notes, apricot, and peach.
Palate:
Bursts of spicy oak, sweet honey, autumn pear and chestnuts, ripened guava, and cinnamon spice.
FRENCH WINE CASK 50-63% ABV
Painting – Meditation on Eternity
The golden Sunlight in this piece represent sparks of hope, lighting the path toward the Kavalan dream. The fiery red denotes both the intensity of purpose and the heat of the sun, the same life-giving warmth that uniquely enhances Kavalan's ageing.
Product Description
Matured in red wine barrels from the finest wineries in Bordeaux, France, this opulent whisky has a rich aroma with full-bodied texture. Soft tannins and a warming mouthfeel help bring out the rich complexity of flavours.
Nose:
Vibrant berry and blackcurrant, sweet pepper, apple, caramel, and ripened fruit.
Palate:
Tropical fruit, wild berries, dried fruits, soft tannins, and subtle spice.
PEATED MALT 50-63% ABV
Painting – Jinzun / Summer
The final piece in the set is both homecoming and rebirth. The green, yellow, and blue represent Taiwan's East Coast's lushness and the vibrant flavours and scents of Kavalan whisky. This Mother Earth bears the fruits of labour for both Kavalan and Mr Chiang and the seeds for new growth. The Kavalan dream becomes a reality.
Product Description
Using malt smoked with deep-mined peat, Kavalan's signature tropical fruits are infused with the peated smokiness in this one-of-a-kind drop. An earthy depth and complexity is exquisitely layered with fruit and accentuated by Kavalan's unique Shave, Toast, and Rechar (STR) technique on the barrels, for a unique maturation.
Nose:
Layers of honeycomb, smooth toffee, and sweet coconut
Palate:
Buttered toffee and peaty and earthy notes on a bed of red pepper, generous spice, and rich longan.
The Kavalan Artist Series is now on sale across Taiwan. Individual bottles will be priced at an RRP of NTD$12,000 each.
*Please note that Kavalan's award-winning "Solist" Series is sold under the name "Cask Strength" Series inside the US market only for trademark reasons.
