4/20 was a special day at TX Whiskey… but not for the reason you might think. The Texas-based distillery launched its TX Blend of Straight Whiskeys Finished in Apricot Brandy and Sherry Casks, the eighth expression of the TX Experimental Series on that day.
The 88.4-proof expression showcases the blending of TX Whiskey’s best expressions over the years with Apricot Brandy and Sherry casks. This blend creates an incredibly unique flavor profile, showcasing the taste of apricot and bright fruits while picking up the flavors of brandy and sherry from the casks.
“We took some of our best whiskeys from over the years and decided to utilize them for a new experimental launch,” said TX Whiskey Head Blender Craig Blair. “The brandy and sherry casks in which the straight whiskeys were finished really bring out the fruity taste that you’ll experience with each sip. The maturing and blending processes are delicate and the final product truly shows our Texas heart, which we aim to bring to every expression.”
The TX Experimental Series features a line of innovative products. Prior releases include the TX Experimental Rye, TX High Rye Texas Straight Bourbon, TX Blended Straight Bourbon, TX Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Rum & Cognac Barrels, TX Straight Rye Whiskey Bottled-in-Bond, TX Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Cabernet Barrels and, most recently, TX Straight Bourbon Whiskey Double Oak.
To commemorate the product launch, TX Whiskey hosted a celebration at the brand’s home, Whiskey Ranch, on April 20th. VIP attendees had the opportunity to “Meet the Maker” with a special tasting and bottle signing in the Oak Room, along with a VIP tour, exclusive gift and early access to purchase the newest expression.
Only 1,300 375ml bottles of the TX Blend of Straight Whiskeys Finished in Apricot Brandy and Sherry Casks were available for purchase for $39.99 at Whiskey Ranch.
