Artisan on Alamo Distillery got its start in 2012 with Spike Vodka, the only vodka made from prickly pear cactus. The distillery then followed up its initial offering with the introduction of Texas Pride Vodka, “an award-winning corn-based vodka”, and Chupacabra Juice Moonshine, “an ultra-smooth corn mash moonshine. Soon, in 206, founder and master distiller Nicholas Spink opened Artisan on Alamo Distillery featuring both the craft vodka distillery and a vodka lounge. In answer to popular clamor, he further expanded in 2018 to offer Bexar Ridge Bourbon Whisky and Pecan Ridge Whiskey. Besides its premium line of spirits, the Artisan on Alamo also features a relaxing outside patio for guests. Distillery tours are at 4pm and 7pm from Thursdays to Saturdays. Happy hour drink menus are available until 8pm. Guests can have food delivered to them at the lounge, or hire their own caterers for special events.

The Alamo Distilling Co. based in the heart of downtown San Antonio is on a roll. Co-founders Daniel Taylor and Nick Burns once dreamed of escaping their dreary jobs on New Year’s Eve 2014. Eventually quitting their jobs and taking a leap of faith, they set up shop in a 1,100 square foot facility near the San Antonio International Airport before their first year of business ended. In 2017, they moved into a 7,000 square foot building. Before 2019 ends, they are mobilizing to move into a 38,000 square foot facility. After having suffered through a brand identity crisis, the formerly-named Texas Craft Whiskey distillery now creates Alamo’s Black Label Bourbon, Catimore Coffee Liqueur, and Alamo Vodka as their flagship products, plus a variety of small-batch experimental spirits. They also shifted their energies away from the moonshine and rum markets. As a grain-to-glass distillery, they continue to remain committed to using the best ingredients possible and crafting memorable spirits.
