Charles Goodnight, The Father of the Texas Panhandle, is a colorful and pivotal character of the American West story.

This brand celebrates and shares that legacy with the next generation of trailblazers. His legacy endures.

Charles Goodnight Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from Texas-grown corn and water sourced from deep local underground aquifers. The mash bill is packed with rye – 36% to be exact – for a peppery spice to complement the sweetness of the corn. This bold, high rye Texas bourbon is aged in new, charred American white oak barrels for six years in the intense Texas heat for a dark, rich, and hearty character. This unique aging process, when combined with locally sourced water and corn, means Charles Goodnight Whiskey is not just distilled in Texas… it is Texas, distilled.

Begins with tree fruits; apricots, peaches, and nectarines, giving way to toasty oak notes of caramel, brown sugar and sweet vanilla and just the memory of dark chocolate. On a third pass, notes of bright citrus/orange and lemon zest, with white pepper spice and just a hint of dried fruits/raisins and figs. A very viscous, almost creamy texture that dries out beautifully revealing caramel and honey sweetness, cream soda, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and baking spices. Medium-long, with a lasting reminder of toasted hazelnuts and a touch of honey sweetness.
