At Fierce Whiskers Distillery, we’re inspired by Austin’s authentic, and sometimes, peculiar spirit. Once described as an “inconsiderable village” by the 19th president Rutherford B. Hayes, this town still proudly holds up to his back-handed moniker. Today, you’ll find a new wave of pioneers creating premium goods for its community, and we’ve set out to produce the best quality whiskey right in the heart of the city. Brilliance takes time, and just like Austin, greatness is achieved through stubbornness.
