Character Count: ~156 Primary Keyword: Maverick Legacy Secondary Keywords: Sam Maverick | Maverick Distilling | Texas History | San Antonio History The Maverick Legacy A Story More Than 200 Years in the Making Every bottle has a story. Some begin with grain. Others begin with a barrel. The story of Maverick Distilling begins generations earlier. It begins with a family whose history is deeply woven into the story of Texas. A family whose name would eventually become synonymous with independent thinking, courage, and the willingness to forge a different path. Today, Maverick Distilling stands as a continuation of that legacy. Located in the heart of downtown San Antonio, just steps from the Alamo, Maverick Distilling brings together history, craftsmanship, hospitality, and a commitment to creating meaningful experiences.

That same spirit guides us today. It influences the spirits we create, the experiences we offer, and the relationships we build with every guest who walks through our doors. More Than a Name For many people, the word "maverick" represents independence, originality, and courage. For us, it represents family.

It is a living one. And every guest who shares a pour with us becomes part of the next chapter. THE ORIGINAL MAVERICK META DATA URL Slug: /our-story/samuel-a-maverick/ SEO Title: Samuel A.

Maverick Secondary Keywords: Sam Maverick | Texas Pioneer | Texas Declaration of Independence | San Antonio History The Original Maverick Before It Was a Word, It Was a Name Long before the word "maverick" entered the American vocabulary, it belonged to a man whose independent spirit helped shape the future of Texas. Samuel Augustus Maverick was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, a businessman, rancher, civic leader, and one of the most influential figures in early San Antonio history. His impact on Texas extended far beyond politics and commerce. His reputation for independent thinking and his refusal to blindly follow convention eventually transformed his family name into a word recognized throughout the world. A Life of Conviction Samuel Maverick believed in making decisions based on principle rather than popularity. Whether serving his community, managing his business interests, or helping build the future of Texas, he approached each challenge with conviction and purpose. His willingness to think differently left a lasting impression on those around him and helped establish the qualities that continue to define the Maverick name today. A Lasting Influence More than two centuries later, Samuel Maverick's legacy remains deeply connected to San Antonio, Texas, and the family that continues to carry his name. His story serves as a reminder that meaningful progress often begins with individuals willing to question assumptions, embrace responsibility, and pursue a vision larger than themselves. The Maverick spirit did not end with Samuel Maverick.

It was something to be preserved, shared, and continually built upon. As a physician, entrepreneur, preservationist, and descendant of Samuel A. Maverick, Kenneth spent years helping shape the future of San Antonio while maintaining a deep appreciation for its past. His vision for Maverick Distilling emerged from a simple but powerful idea: create an experience that honors the Maverick legacy while contributing something meaningful to the city's future. The result is a distillery rooted in history, driven by craftsmanship, and built for connection. More Than a Distillery From the beginning, Maverick Distilling was never intended to be simply a place where spirits are produced. It was envisioned as a gathering place. A place where visitors could experience exceptional Texas whiskey, learn about the city's rich history, connect with others, and discover the stories behind every bottle. Each element of the distillery was thoughtfully considered, from its location at 115 Broadway to the guest experiences designed to bring people together. Intentional by Design The principles that guide Maverick Distilling today reflect the same thoughtful approach that inspired its creation. Every spirit, every event, every conversation, and every guest experience begins with intentionality.

This commitment to thoughtful decision-making continues to define what it means to be a Maverick. Looking Toward the Future While the Maverick name is deeply connected to Texas history, Maverick Distilling is focused on what comes next. Through innovation, education, hospitality, and a continued commitment to quality, the distillery seeks to create new traditions while honoring those that came before.

Use a consistent portrait treatment and repeatable team-member block or card: photo, name, title, and bio. On desktop, a two-column grid would work well; stack on mobile. Keep bios readable rather than overly compressed. Where an approved staff portrait is not available, use a clearly labeled portrait placeholder so the image can be added later. Avoid decorative stock portraits. SEO NOTE Keep optimization light and natural. This is primarily a brand, credibility, and people page; the metadata and natural references to Maverick Distilling, San Antonio, whiskey, distilling, hospitality, and Texas provide sufficient topical context without forcing additional keyword repetition. Brandon Onstott Brandon Onstott Head Distiller & Director of Production Operations [TEAM PHOTO PLACEHOLDER — BRANDON ONSTOTT] Brandon has been helping shape Maverick’s whiskey since joining the team in 2022. A biology and chemistry student at the University of North Texas—and a former college lacrosse player—he originally came to Maverick to learn the art of brewing before discovering that whiskey was where his real passion lay. Today, Brandon oversees every stage of production, from milling grain to filling bottles, ensuring the same attention to detail carries through every bottle Maverick produces. He is especially drawn to the intersection of science and art that makes craft spirits so rewarding. He’s particularly proud of helping guide the distillery through an important period of evolution, embracing a culture of curiosity, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement, and of Maverick’s recognition at the Texas Whiskey Festival. These days, he’s excited to see Maverick’s whiskeys reaching the age and maturity that reveal their full potential. When Brandon isn’t at the distillery, you’ll probably find him spending time with his dogs, painting Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, or enjoying a glass of Maverick Bottled-in-Bond or Four Grain Bourbon. For Brandon, being a Maverick means challenging conventional wisdom—a philosophy reflected in both his approach to whiskey and his willingness to experiment with new ideas. Eric Peay Eric Peay Head Brewer & Fermentation Manager [TEAM PHOTO PLACEHOLDER — ERIC PEAY] Eric joined Maverick in 2026 from Waikiki Brewing Company, which he helped found. As Head Brewer & Fermentation Manager, he oversees every aspect of beer production and serves as Maverick’s fermentation specialist, while also assisting with spirits production, barreling, and bottling. Ask Eric what he enjoys most about working at Maverick, and he won’t talk about recipes or equipment—he’ll tell you it’s the people. He values the family atmosphere that has grown around the distillery and believes the future here has enormous potential. Outside of work, Eric enjoys spending time with his wife and dogs, believes in following your own course, and lives by a simple philosophy: keep your head down and work through your problems. Whether he’s refining a fermentation, running a still, or welcoming guests, he hopes people remember him for one thing above all else: being friendly. Kim Fox Kim Fox Whiskey Ambassador [TEAM PHOTO PLACEHOLDER — KIM FOX] Kim joined Maverick in 2026 with a passion for creating memorable guest experiences and helping people discover the world of craft whiskey. Whether she’s introducing someone to their first tasting flight or shaking up a classic cocktail, her goal is simple: make every visit fun, welcoming, and memorable. The part of the job Kim enjoys most is connecting with guests. She loves sharing Maverick’s story, crafting cocktails, and creating experiences that leave people smiling long after they’ve left the distillery. She’s especially excited about helping grow Maverick’s social media presence and introducing even more people to everything happening here. Outside of work, Kim enjoys spending time with family and friends, staying active, and exploring some of Texas’s oldest cemeteries with her mom. Since joining Maverick, she’s discovered a new appreciation for whiskey and reaches for Maverick Rye whenever she’s making an Old Fashioned. Ask Kim what she hopes guests remember most about her, and the answer is exactly what you’d expect: her positivity and great energy. Zack Booth Zack Booth Texas Market Manager [TEAM PHOTO PLACEHOLDER — ZACK BOOTH] Since 2023, Zack has been introducing Maverick Distilling to retailers, restaurants, bars, and whiskey lovers across Texas. As Texas Market Manager, he’s responsible for growing the Maverick brand beyond the walls of the distillery—opening new markets, building relationships, educating consumers, and sharing the stories behind every bottle. Before joining Maverick, Zack built more than a decade of experience in the beverage industry after starting in hospitality. His path has been anything but ordinary, including time as a martial artist, professional boxer, songwriter, musician, and world traveler. That diverse background shaped the curiosity and enthusiasm he brings to every conversation about whiskey. Zack’s favorite part of the job is watching someone discover the connection between tradition, craftsmanship, and the spirit in their glass. He’s proud of helping expand Maverick’s footprint across Texas while introducing new audiences to the distillery’s commitment to quality and hospitality. When he’s not on the road, Zack enjoys good food, travel, music, basketball, and spending time with his family. Ask him about whiskey, and chances are you’ll also hear a great story along the way. Michael Phillips Michael Phillips Whiskey Ambassador & Bar Lead [TEAM PHOTO PLACEHOLDER — MICHAEL PHILLIPS] Michael joined Maverick after building a career as an educator, bartender, and beverage director in New Braunfels before relocating to San Antonio. He was drawn to Maverick by the opportunity to experience a different side of the spirits industry—moving beyond the bar to help tell the story behind every bottle. Today, Michael’s favorite part of the job is helping guests discover something new. Whether he’s leading a tasting, crafting cocktails, or talking whiskey at the bar, his goal is simple: teach people, make them happy, and share his enthusiasm for great spirits. A self-described “whiskey nerd,” Michael believes being a Maverick means caring less about convention and more about finding what works for everyone. He’s guided by consistency, has learned to adapt and “roll with the punches,” and is motivated by always moving forward rather than backward. When he’s not at the distillery, you’ll likely find him cooking, reading, gaming, gardening, or diving into history and other cultures. If he could share a drink with anyone, it would be Leonardo da Vinci. His favorite way to enjoy whiskey is with friends, and these days he’s most often reaching for Maverick Rodeo Bourbon because it’s incredibly versatile—equally at home in a cocktail, enjoyed neat, or paired with a good cigar. Mark Shilling Mark Shilling President [TEAM PHOTO PLACEHOLDER — MARK SHILLING] When Mark joined Maverick Distilling, he wasn’t looking to become another general manager. After spending two years consulting with the distillery, he recognized that Maverick needed more than day-to-day oversight—it needed someone who understood how to build a distillery and help shape its future. Today, Mark leads every aspect of the business, from whiskey development and operations to sales, marketing, and guest experience. With more than a decade in the craft spirits industry—as a distillery founder, industry leader, and consultant—he brings a unique perspective to every decision and every tasting he leads. Ask Mark what he does, though, and you’re just as likely to hear, “I clean toilets, pay taxes, and try to keep every aspect of the distillery coordinated and growing.” That hands-on approach reflects his belief that no job is beneath a leader if it helps move the company forward. Mark’s favorite part of the job is helping people discover not just what’s in their glass, but why it’s there. He believes the best whiskey experiences combine great spirits with thoughtful conversation, genuine hospitality, and a deeper understanding of the craft. For Mark, being a Maverick means staying true to your principles, making difficult decisions, and never giving up simply because the path is challenging. Away from the distillery, you’ll usually find him watching college sports, listening to live rock music, spending time with his wife Rebecca and their dog Finlay, or enjoying a great cup of coffee—at least until 10 o’clock, when whiskey becomes a perfectly reasonable option. If you ask about his favorite band, don’t be surprised if AC/DC comes up. After all, one of his guiding principles has always been, “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ’n’ roll.”
