Rebecca Creek Distillery
Overview
Rebecca Creek Distillery sits in San Antonio on the edge of Texas Hill Country and was established in October 2009. The distillery combines small-batch production and custom-built German copper stills with modern methods. The water from Rebecca Creek/Edwards Aquifer is cited as a key input, and the products range from Enchanted Rock Vodka to Rebecca Creek and Texas Ranger whiskeys, which today are distributed in several U.S. states. Visitors can participate in guided seminars and tastings in the distillery's tasting room.
History
In October 2009, Steve Ison took the initiative to establish Rebecca Creek Distillery with the aim of producing ultra-premium spirits in small batches. The name pays homage to Rebecca Creek in Texas Hill Country, where the limestone-filtered water source inspired the distillery's production profile. Since inception, the company has pursued a blend of old craftsmanship and modern technology, including custom-built copper pot stills. Over time, Rebecca Creek has grown to become one of the region's larger artisanal producers, with their vodkas and whiskeys distributed in several American states. Today the distillery functions both as a production site and a gathering place, offering guided tastings, events, and private arrangements.
Raw Materials and Production
The production focus is on small-batch production on custom-built copper stills. The distillery highlights a custom, German copper pot still described as their primary still, describing the work as a blend of old and new techniques. The Enchanted Rock vodka is made from premium Midwestern corn and undergoes a process described as the functional equivalent of ten distillations to create a clean, neutral base while preserving the grain's sweetness. Rebecca Creek Fine Texas Whiskey is produced as a blend of aged whiskies and bourbons, and the distillery's limestone-filtered water from the Edwards Aquifer is used as a key component in the production.
Maturation and Barrel Types
Maturation and blending focus on assembling components from aged whiskies and bourbons into Rebecca Creek Fine Texas Whiskey. There are no specific details on exact barrel types or aging treatments, but the product is described as a blend of existing aged whiskies and bourbons, with the Edwards Aquifer water used in the process.
Whiskeys
The core range includes Rebecca Creek Fine Texas Whiskey, Enchanted Rock Ultra-Premium Vodka, and Texas Ranger Whiskey. Rebecca Creek Whiskey is positioned as a Texas blend consisting of aged whiskies and bourbons. The Enchanted Rock Vodka is handcrafted in small, handmade batches on a copper distillation setup and highlights the use of Midwestern corn and a process described as the functional equivalent of ten distillations to achieve a clean, neutral base while preserving the grain's sweetness. The Texas Ranger series is fashioned as a tribute release to the Texas Ranger history. In addition to these brands, ongoing events and a shop are mentioned where the distillery's spirits are offered.
