About the product: Austin 121 Cask Strength Light Whiskey has a more intense nose with mineral, butterscotch, and vanilla aromas and is darker and spicier than Austin 101. It also exhibits unique barrel characteristics such as spiciness or buttery sweetness and a long, shockingly smooth finish. Each bottle has its barrel number and the specific cask strength, varying from 121 to 136 proof.
Austin 121 has the intensity and purity of a wheated bourbon mash made from 100% Texas grains. Bottled right from the barrel, you will enjoy the ferocious, darker spice flavor of a unique light whiskey at full cask strength. This spirit is easiest to enjoy over one large, cold cube where it stands up well to a little ice.
Seelbach's Story: Austin Craft Spirits is a new-to-us player in the Texas craft distillery scene, known for creating unique, high-quality spirits with a distinct local flair. They pride themselves for using Texas grown grains - barley, corn, wheat, and rye straight from the heart of the Lone Star State. With an increased eye on Texas spirits, it's nice to see another one carving their own unique path.
What makes Austin Craft Spirits stand out from other Texas distilleries is their emphasis on crafting more experimental and creative expressions while still maintaining high standards of quality. That is to say, they aren’t just producing classic whiskey, but they’re exploring things like light whiskey, aged spirits, and even some experimental small-batch releases. They focus on small-scale production, which allows them to experiment with different distillation techniques, aging processes, and flavor profiles.
When it comes to their light whiskey, this is where they shine. You may remember us recently talking about light whiskey, a less common style compared to traditional bourbons and ryes. It’s distilled at a higher proof (usually over 160 proof), which results in a lighter, smoother taste with a more neutral flavor base. The Texas climate can sometimes make whiskey push toward oaky or intense, but Austin’s lighter approach to whiskey keeps things smooth, soft, and easy-drinking, without losing the character of the Texas-grown grains. Rich butterscotch, deep dark fruits, and vanilla custard lead but nipping with the barrel spice you’d expect, staying creamy and lingering, and still having a backbone of grains similar to so many craft producers we love.
