“Texas whiskey” is origin language, not a TTB class. The bottle still has to meet the whiskey rules: ≥40% ABV, and bourbon SKUs still need Balcones Baby Blue prints 46% / 92 on balconesdistilling.com (straight corn whisky). Garrison Brothers Small Batch prints 94 / 47% on garrisonbros.com. A 1.5-ounce pour at 46% is 1.15 drinks. Other Texas SKUs — read those necks. Craft is not a legal type. No 2026 ranking or MSRP.
