The Distillery Story

Still Austin Whiskey Co., located in Austin, Texas, is a grain-to-glass distillery dedicated to crafting high-quality whiskeys using 100% Texas-grown grains sourced from family-owned farms. Established in 2013, it is the first whiskey distillery within Austin city limits since Prohibition. The distillery operates out of a 10,000-square-foot facility in the Yard at St. Elmo, a vibrant mixed-use development, and is designed with sustainability in mind, utilizing renewable energy and water conservation practices while repurposing spent grain as livestock feed. Still Austin’s flagship products include The Musician, a straight bourbon whiskey, and The Artist, a 100% Texas rye whiskey. Both have gained significant acclaim, with The Musician becoming one of the top-selling whiskeys in Texas shortly after its release. The distillery also produces limited-edition releases, such as its Bottled-in-Bond seasonal series and experimental whiskeys crafted with unique grain varieties like red and blue corn. What sets Still Austin apart is its innovative approach to whiskey-making, including the use of a custom-built Forsyths column still, nicknamed “Nancy,” and advanced techniques like slow water reduction.
