Black Button Distilling, one of the top five craft distilleries in the USA, and the first grain-to-glass farm distillery in Rochester, N.Y.. since Prohibition, is now available in retail stores as well as bars and restaurants throughout Texas. Black Button Distilling’s entrance into the Texas market makes it one of 14 states where the brand’s spirits are currently available.
Black Button Distilling is distributed by Republic National Distributing Co. in Texas.
“It is both exciting and fitting to have our spirits available in Texas where there is a strong appreciation for craft spirits. This fits really well with our mission,” said Jason Barrett, Black Button Distilling president and master distiller. “We are a licensed Farm Distillery, dedicated to preserving New York State’s rich agricultural heritage. That focus on creating the finest grain-to-glass spirits with locally-grown grains is important to Texans who appreciate high-quality small batch, handcrafted spirits made with only natural ingredients and sustainable practices.”
We interviewed Jason Barrett a couple of months ago about the challenges — and benefits — of running a craft distillery where temperatures often are below zero with seven-foot-high snow mounds. You can hear that interview here.
