Local Distilleries near Granger, TX (3)

Sangiovanni Distillery is a "Great Local Texas Distillery" that produces ATX Vodka which is locally made in small batches from a private spring water source in Austin, Texas with a hint of sweetness from the corn that it's made from. ATX Vodka is "a smooth and sophisticated flavor that" you will "really" enjoy. "It's well worth a try ... and a few more after that". A "super-smooth vodka, especially chilled over ice". The "owners take true pride in their product to make sure it is the absolute best vodka available!!" They also have recipes available on their website which you can try if you want to drink different cocktails.

Spirit of Texas is one of the oldest operating distilleries in Texas. They have "a nice small bar area and then a large lounging area with several tables and couches". The "nice drinking room with very comfortable seating added a really nice touch" to the place. They produced Pfluger Single Malt Whiskey, Pecan Street Rum, and Straight Silver Rum. These are available in different liquor stores, restaurants, lounges, nightclubs, and bars throughout the state. Their Pecan Street Rum is the only rum in America that is oak-aged with Texas pecans. Their PFLUGER Single Malt Whiskey already won several gold medals. "A must try."

Banner Distilling Company founders Logan Simpson and Anthony Jimenez had a dream of putting up their own distillery. Simpson has a Ph.D. in Chemistry, while Jimenez has a family history of bootlegging during Prohibition. Both were engineers at the same company and one day decided they had enough. With a budget of just $45,000, they established Banner Distilling in 2012. Using Craigslist, Google, and lots of resourcefulness, they designed and created their own still for just $300. Meanwhile, they kept their day jobs and toiled on their distillery nights and on weekends. They released Banner Organic Vodka in 2014 ahead of their preferred whiskey products so that that it could generate enough income while the whiskeys aged. The vodka went on to win multiple awards. The following year, they released their first bottles of Banner Wheat Whiskey, which also won accolades in different competitions. Cheers to bootstrapping!
