Texas Straight Rye Whiskey

Texas Rye with Spice, Depth, and Character

Samuel Maverick Straight Rye Whiskey is distilled from Texas-grown Wren's Abruzzi rye, yellow corn, and malted barley. Aged more than five years and bottled at 88 proof, it brings a distinctly grain-forward character to Maverick's whiskey lineup.

The profile moves from sweet, oak-driven aromas into baking spice and biscuit on the palate, then finishes with an herbal coolness that keeps the rye energetic and distinctive.

Finish Herbal, with cool menthol lingering on the tongue.

The Grain

Texas-Grown Abruzzi Rye

Rye whiskey is known for spice and grain-driven character, and Samuel Maverick Straight Rye begins with Texas-grown Wren's Abruzzi rye. Supported by yellow corn and malted barley, the mash bill creates a straight rye whiskey with baking spice, biscuit, oak, and an herbal finish.

The whiskey is aged more than five years and bottled at 88 proof, giving it enough structure for rye-forward cocktails while remaining approachable as a neat pour. For whiskey drinkers searching nationally for Texas rye whiskey, straight rye whiskey made in Texas, or an American rye built around Abruzzi rye grain, this expression connects a classic whiskey category to locally grown ingredients and Maverick Distilling's San Antonio production.
