ABOUT US
Nestled in the serene landscape of the Texas Hill Country, Hill Country Spirits is a distinguished craft spirits distiller, deeply rooted in the authentic spirit of Texas culture. Our dedication to crafting exceptional spirits is driven by a profound commitment to using only the finest Texas-grown agriculture. At the heart of our unique product line is the Texas Prickly Pear Clear, a signature spirit meticulously distilled from prickly pear cacti, hand-harvested from the rugged ranches dotting the Hill Country.
Our distillery is a proud testament to our Texas heritage, owned and operated by native Texans who embody the robust spirit and enduring values of the Lone Star State. Each bottle from our distillery is a tribute to Texas, from the Jalapeño Blaze Clear, capturing
the fiery spirit of the region, to the Texas Gin, a harmonious blend of traditional and local botanicals. The Texas Coffee Dulce Liqueur offers a sumptuous taste of Texas, marrying rich coffee notes with a sweet, smooth finish.
At Hill Country Spirits, we’re more than just a distillery; we’re a celebration of Texas, its land, its people, and its spirited culture. Join us in savoring the true essence of Texas with every sip.
