Herman Marshall Texas Rye Whiskey is made at Dry County Distilleries in Wylie, Texas and aged for a minimum of four years in new white oak barrels. It's bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) and sells for around $40-45. Originally founded in 2010 by Herman Beckley and Marshall Louis, it was Dallas County's first legal distillery since Prohibition.
I had very low expectations for Herman – Marshall Texas Rye Whiskey because of its label, position on the shelf (bottom) and price point. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by its balanced sweet and spicy flavor and its pricing. I would certainly recommend you look for this at your local retailer or even online if you live outside of Texas. It’s a good, sweet sipper (think dessert) and it would make cocktails come alive.
