The uniquely Texan products of Leanderthal® Distilling
TexAgave® Blue Agave Spirits
Triple Secession® Orange Liqueur
TexAgave® Blue Agave Spirits
There is no such thing as a "Tequila" made in Texas. Mexico owns that word that like France owns the word "Champagne."
But now there IS TexAgave. This honestly Texas made liquor for your margaritas has a delicious flavor all its own. With a pleasant tropical aroma and what's been called a "dangerously smooth finish" it's a spirit perfect for margaritas, sunrises, and more.
Leanderthal® Vodka
Triple Secession® Orange Liqueur
TexAgave® Blue Agave Spirits
Don't let the low price of our best selling Ironically Sophsticated™vodka fool you. We don't think vodka has to BE expensive to TASTE expensive.
The name? Well, In 1982, right near Leander, archaeologists discovered the 10,000 year old skeleton of a prehistoric woman. She wasn't old enough to be a Neanderthal so they called her Leanne, the Leanderthal Lady. In honor of her spirit, we named ours after her.
Triple Secession® Orange Liqueur
Triple Secession® Orange Liqueur
Triple Secession® Orange Liqueur
Texas's first 82 proof Triple Sec, this is a seriously strong and complex orange liqueur. It may remind you of premium French brands but without the snooty price tag. Perfect for top shelf cocktails. Perfectly capable of standing on its own.
Did you know alcohol labels have to be approved by the federal government? It's true. So now we get to say we asked the feds to approve our "Secession"...and they did!
JAVAgave™ Artisan Coffee Liqueur
JAVAgave™ Artisan Coffee Liqueur
JAVAgave™ Artisan Coffee Liqueur
AT LAST. A top-shelf coffee liqueur at full 80 proof (40% alc/vol). Made with REAL coffee from the artisan roasters at Coyote Moon in Georgetown, Texas, delivered fresh to our distillery on the day of making.
Sweetened with blue agave nectar and pure cane sugar with a touch of real vanilla. Sophisticated, not syrupy, this is the liqueur for people who know good coffee. Priced competitively with the major brands but more potent, authentic, and truly handcrafted.
Whit's LEANDER DRY GIN
JAVAgave™ Artisan Coffee Liqueur
JAVAgave™ Artisan Coffee Liqueur
We call it the ORIGINAL MIXED BREED GIN.™ To create it, we borrowed a celebrated tradition of wine and Scotch makers -- expert blending. A number of gin styles were curated and blended into this unique, aromatic, and complex gin.
The result is a fine gin rooted in traditional botanicals of juniper and others plus a complex depth and long finish from more innovative ingredients. This gin is our founder's favorite product...and it's not just because the label features his favorite mixed breed dog.
The 17 Whiskey LIMITED RELEASE
JAVAgave™ Artisan Coffee Liqueur
The 17 Whiskey LIMITED RELEASE
When we were working on Whit's Gin, a bulk spirits broker asked our founder, Scott, a pretty stupid question: "Are you interested in 270 gallons of fine five year aged Kentucky whiskey?" A maker who switching from a 5 year aged product to a 4 year product was willing to sell it to us and after sampling it, we jumped on it. At a time when makers are rushing 2 year products to market, 5 years is solid. After a proprietary maneuver to mellow it even further, we proofed and bottled it. Then we hand numbered and signed each one. 1500 bottle release and when it's gone it's gone. Named for the 17 defenders of the Alamo who were born in Kentucky like this whiskey.
