Temptryst Rums new facility is under construction in Driftwood Texas. The project is being run by me. John Manicom has never had anything to do with Temptryst Rums.

Great profile of the Texas micro distillery market. A couple additions to the list to round it out though: D.E.W. Distillation in Wimberley Texas, manufacturer of Cypress Creek Rum, and a brand new start-up, Powderfinger Spirits, in Buda, Texas, who is just about to go into production. Cheers!

Wow – I consider myself a Rum connoisseur, but I haven’t heard of several of these distilleries. I’m heading to Houston next month. I may just have to schedule a day trip to take a few tours. Do any of them do tastings?

Can’t wait for the Texas gin. The more botanicals, the better. My golden standard so far is Death’s Door. Out of — gasp — Wisconsin! Don’t hold it again’me.

Your webpage is actually full of superb detail and also is actually really interesting to read.

As a Texan, it’s always nice to see someone interested in Texas spirits. Tito’s paved the way for a lot of micro-distillers, and hopefully many more will find success. And after a couple of decently sucessful vodkas, it’s great to see other spirits popping up as well. Still waiting to get my hands on some Temptryst and Balcones.

UPDATE: Balcones Distilling bottles first run of Rumble on July 18th!
UPDATE” Website up and running
Hey all, after what seemed like an eternity , we have cases of our beautiful amber-colored Rumble bottled and in cases and ready to send to our distributer. Aside from some bruised palms from plugging corks, and blue wax on the floor from our hand-dipped bottles, we all survived the exciting day and hope to see you all soon,

Great listing! I visited Railean Rum and got a wonderful in-depth tour from Matt – plus the first on-premises tasting. Now I need to see what the masters at Anvil can do with Railean. (Like Victoria says, it is a fine sipping rum too.)
