Back in 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea- an idea that all started in an old welding shop under a bridge. Helmed by Head Distiller and former Master Distiller of the Year, Jared Himstedt, Balcones became the first Texas whisky maker since prohibition, and in 2009 they began making tasty, tasty whisky. Now, smack in the middle of Waco, their 65,000 square foot facility is a shining beacon for whisky lovers everywhere. 

Japanese Macaques, also known as Snow Monkeys, are the last thing you might expect to see running across the South Texas scrub. But what if we told you there’s over 600 Snow Monkeys in Dilley, Texas? What if we told you in 1972 150 boarded a plane from Kyoto, Japan and never made it back? What if we told you there was an open season on Snow Monkeys in Texas in 1995? Pull up a chair- it’s all true.
