Ride Texas writer Steven Ehle, who attended the Austin Whiskey Riot show on May 17th, reports:
Whiskey Riot is a celebration for both whiskey aficionados and curious newcomers, showcasing a diverse array of local, regional, national, and international brands. Tasting stations offer not only remarkable spirits but also rich stories behind each pour.
We purchased early admission tickets and enjoyed an uncrowded tasting hour, our own little VIP experience. This allowed us to discover an array of limited editions and rare gems, which likely would have been gone once crowds rolled in. For us dedicated whiskey enthusiasts, each sip felt like discovering a hidden treasure. Everyone left with a deeper appreciation for the art of whiskey-making.
Attendees had the opportunity to connect directly with representatives from local and distant brands, with highlights including San Antonio’s Maverick Whiskey, Still Austin, War Trail Spirits from Llano, and the exquisite Milam & Green from Blanco.
As always, if you drink, don’t ride.
