What makes BABY BLUE Different

Baby Blue is crafted from 100% Texas-grown and roasted matured in used oak barrels to highlight the nuance of the maize. This emphasis on a very grain-forward pot-distilled single grain, specifically blue corn, is what sets Baby Blue apart.

This approach—alongside our extended fermentation, dedication to double-batch copper pot still distillation, meticulous blending process and diligent attention to detail at every step—has led to this celebrated, award-winning whisky.

ON THE NOSE, Baby Blue begins eager and fresh, with oily polenta and toasted pine nuts darting to brighter notes of apple butter, homemade tortilla and green mango.

ON THE PALATE, our flagship roasted blue corn whisky is easygoing and warm, with sun tea and green peppercorn woven into a sweet tapestry of kettle corn, vanilla sponge cake and brown butter.
