Stories
Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.
Ranger Creek to Release Rimfire Smoked Texas Whiskey
San Antonio-based Ranger Creek Brewing & Distilling will release Rimfire Smoked Texas Whiskey on March 21, with a series of tasting events in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and Dallas. Rimfire is the second release in Ranger Creek’s Small Caliber Series of whiskies.
The single malt whiskey is a lightly-smoked whiskey using mesquite wood supplied by a local cattle farmer in exchange for Ranger Creek’s spent grains. Ranger Creek converted a 20-foot-long shipping container into a giant smoker to hand-smoke its barley before mashing. Ranger Creek uses the smoker to make its Mesquite Smoked Porter beer, and uses the same recipe for Rimfire without the hops.
Fewer than 500 cases of Rimfire will be available in various Texas markets. Details on the Rimfire tasting events are available in the Calendar of Events.
