Dripping Springs Distilling

? Dripping Springs Distilling

Founded by the brothers of Gary and Kevin Kelleher, Dripping Springs is dedicated to distilling world class products in small, 50-gallon batches. The business is so successful that Dripping Springs Vodka has now become the second Texas-made vodka available to the public. They started and were inspired by childhood stories of their great-great-grandfather who distilled vodka from a Russian Czar. It is evident that in everything the brothers produce, the attention and detail that goes into making such products result in a refined taste profile.
