Devils River Whiskey is making waves as a craft distiller founded in San Antonio back in 2017.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The distillery offers eight expressions, featuring premium bourbon, rye, and unique flavored whiskey options including Coffee and Agave variations.

Unique Ingredients

Devils River takes pride in using limestone-filtered water from the Devils River for their whiskey, a solemn element that plays a crucial role in perfecting their finishes. One of their standout offerings is the Devils River Agave Bourbon, which infuses rich bourbon whiskey with organic, unfiltered Blue Agave nectar sourced from Jalisco, Mexico. It’s a non-age statement bourbon bottled at a smooth 40% ABV!
