I came across Still Austin’s “The Musician,” a straight bourbon whiskey that has been making waves in the world of spirits. As a whiskey enthusiast, I couldn’t resist diving into the story behind this intriguing bourbon and sharing my thoughts on its unique taste profile. Located in the heart of Austin, Texas, Still Austin Whiskey Co. has caught the attention of many, including industry experts Nancy Fraley and Mike, who have offered their guidance to this up-and-coming distillery.<\/p>\n

Led by head distiller, John Schrepel, a New Yorker who “adjusted to the Texas heat,” Still Austin produces their bourbon using 100% Texas-grown corn, rye, and malted barley. This dedication to local ingredients gives “The Musician” a true taste of Texas terroir, making it an exciting addition to their lineup of spirits. The bourbon is aged for at least two years in new American oak barrels, adding to its complex flavor profile.<\/p>\n

On the nose, “The Musician” offers scents of salted peanut butter, cola, ripe mango, and fresh moss. The taste brings forward an amber, ruddy reddish copper tone with light green flints on the edge. At 98.4 proof and a price of approximately $40-$50 per 750ml bottle, this straight bourbon has become a talking point for whiskey lovers seeking a new and distinctive experience.<\/p>\n
