About Still Austin Whiskey Co Still Austin Whiskey Co. is the first true grain-to-glass distillery in Austin since Prohibition and one of the fastest-growing craft whiskey brands in the country. Founded in 2014 by father-and-son team Cleveland and Chris Seals, we’ve become nationally recognized for our award-winning bourbon and rye — distilled in-house from Texas-grown grains and shaped by the intensity of our Texas climate. Led by Master Blender Nancy Fraley and Master Distiller John Schrepel, we pioneered the use of slow water reduction in bourbon, bringing new depth, maturity, and character to our whiskeys. Our bottles are as distinctive as our spirits, featuring custom label art by world-renowned artist Marc Burckhardt — a tribute to Austin’s creativity and the craft behind every drop. Now, we’re expanding our footprint with an ambitious new hospitality campus in South Austin — including a full-service restaurant, an atrium welcome center, a lounge and café, and a versatile event space designed to bring people together. It’s an exciting moment to join Still Austin as we build a world-class guest experience.
