AUSTIN 85
LIGHT WHISKEY

Welcome to the family! Austin 85 shares the same crafting principles that made Austin 101 Light Whiskey win 3 gold medals in a year, including at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. No wonder it too just won a gold award at the 2022 Texas Whiskey Festival, only a few weeks after it launched.

A Unique Light Whiskey Experience

Austin 85 Light Whiskey has a balanced nose with mineral, butterscotch and vanilla aromas, spectacular roundness and a long, smooth finish. Exceptionally versatile in cocktails.

Local and Authentic

We use corn, wheat, and malted barley primarily grown in Texas; nothing is added. Aged and finished sustainably in high-quality recycled American white oak barrels from local bourbon distillers.

Precision Crafting

Column distilled to a higher proof to create less byproducts and congeners while preserving the natural sweetness and taste of the original grain.

Handcrafted Smoothness

Hand-made in small batches, we gradually reduce the proof by “elevage” to deliver an ultimate smooth finish.
