Rebecca Creek Small Batch Texas Bourbon 750mL

Small batch. Hand-selected. Rebecca Creek Small Batch Texas Bourbon — a curated selection of barrels from San Antonio's Rebecca Creek Distillery, delivering the concentrated character that Texas Hill Country barrel aging uniquely produces.

Rebecca Creek Distillery was founded in 2010 by Mike Cameron — a former aircraft engineer who applied precision principles to craft distilling in San Antonio's Pearl District before relocating to the Hill Country. The distillery has become one of Texas's most nationally recognized craft whiskey producers, built on a philosophy of quality over volume and production standards that earn serious collector attention.

The Small Batch expression draws from a hand-selected group of barrels chosen for consistent character and quality above the standard production release. Texas's dramatic temperature swings — hot summers driving bourbon deep into the charred oak, cool winters pulling it back — accelerate extraction and concentrate flavor in ways that more moderate climates cannot replicate. Rebecca Creek's Small Batch captures this Texas climate advantage at its most curated, delivering a bourbon that reflects the Hill Country's distinctive maturation environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Texas bourbon different from Kentucky bourbon? Texas's extreme climate — summer temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F and significant winter cooling — drives bourbon in and out of the barrel more aggressively than Kentucky's more moderate seasons. This accelerated extraction produces more concentrated, intensely flavored bourbon in shorter aging windows. Texas bourbon often punches above its age statement in depth of character.
• What is a small batch bourbon? Small batch means a limited number of barrels are selected and mingled together for each release — as opposed to large-scale batch production that may blend hundreds or thousands of barrels. Rebecca Creek's small batch selection focuses on barrels that have reached a specific quality standard, producing more consistency and character than the standard release.
• How does Small Batch compare to Rebecca Creek's Bottled-in-Bond? The Bottled-in-Bond is 100 proof with a strict single-season, federally bonded certification. The Small Batch emphasizes curated barrel selection and approachable character at a slightly lower proof point. The BiB is the more rigorously certified expression; the Small Batch is more focused on character consistency across a hand-picked barrel selection.
• Who founded Rebecca Creek and what is the Hill Country connection? Mike Cameron founded Rebecca Creek in 2010 in San Antonio. The distillery takes its name from Rebecca Creek, a tributary of the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country — connecting the brand to the region's landscape and water heritage.
