The wife and I took another distillery trip to Dennison, Texas where we visited Ironroot Republic Distillery. The drive wasn’t bad from Fort Worth, about an hour. We scheduled a tour online earlier that week. It was a fun experience!

The tour was about two hours. There was a great history of their business, the history of their process, and how they source their product. This distillery has their tour down to a science! We were seated at tables in the still area with our samples on a tray before us and a glass of water. It was more like a class and tour together, which was a change. We like how each distillery has their own style of tour. We took a tour of the warehouse and saw the many barrels they had stocked. They went over more of the processes and encouraged questions. We went back to the tables and then delved into sipping the 7 samples of their product.

Again, this was a great tour! The family who owns and operates Ironroot Republic are very welcoming and nice. They are very involved with the operation of their business and tour. They told us the story about how they obtained their bar and shelving, which was a cool story.

Afterward, my wife and I had lunch at Huck’s Catfish, which was delicious! It was a fun trip.

Tahwahkaro Distillery

February 2024 – Tawahkaro Distillery Tour

Recently, we took a little trip down to Tahwaharo Distillery to visit and take a tour. We called a few days prior and arranged our tour. The wife and I drove down from Fort Worth. It was about a 2-ish hour drive to Palestine, Tx, which is a nice little town surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. What a fantastic experience!

The distillery was a little bit tricky to get to, but it was easily marked when we found it. The building is modern with an industrial vibe inside. My wife and I were the only ones on the tour, so we were encouraged to ask as many questions as we had and to take in everything. Their copper still is beautiful and has a very interesting story behind how it was acquired. The tour guide was relaxed and casual as he gave us their history and how the distillery is operated. My wife was impressed that they bottled their own product right there on sight. I was excited to sample some red and blue corn bourbon right out of the barrel!

I have been a fan of Tahwahkaro since they were in Grapevine, Tx. I took a tour of their operation when they were located there and wanted to see their facility now that they’ve moved.

Watch my videos below and follow me on TikTok to see my review of their bourbon!
