ZZ Top launches new whisky, Tres Hombres Bourbon

Last November, ZZ Top debuted its own unique brand of whisky called Tres Hombres, named after the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame trio's 1973 studio album. Now the Texas blues-rockers are introducing a second entry into the liquor line -- Tres Hombres Bourbon.

The whisky will be available starting this week at select retailers in three Texas cities -- Austin, Dallas and Houston.

Tres Hombres Bourbon is made from three grains, with three distinct mash bills -- that is, grain mixes -- that have been "baked in the Southern heat" for three years.

"The launch of our 2021 Texas Whisky was an overwhelming success," says ZZ Top manager Carl Stubner. "We look forward to sharing this new sweeter expression with our fans and friends to enjoy raising a glass to followers of good whisky across the country."

The arrival of Tres Hombres Bourbon coincides with ZZ Top's trio of Texas shows this week featuring special guests Jeff Beck and Heart's Ann Wilson. The concerts are scheduled for this Friday in Del Valle, Saturday in Dallas and Sunday in The Woodlands. Visit ZZTop.com for the band's full upcoming itinerary.
