OUR SPIRIT
Western Son Vodka: A Spirited Journey crafted beyond the boardroom. Born in 2011, when a determined group sought to break free from the corporate world and bring their rebellious spirit to the world at large, Western Son is committed to blazing our own path with every spirit we create.
Nestled in Pilot Point, Texas, our distillery doesn't just produce vodka; we craft an experience that celebrates the world of flavored and infused spirits. Our award-winning vodka is born from a blend of creativity, passion and expertise. The secret formula? We combine the best ingredients and expand the traditional distillation process to create a high-quality, smooth vodka with a 10x distilled clean finish. All of our vodkas are made with real fruit, with our vision meticulously crafted into every bottle.
From our master distillers to our tour guides, Western Son aims to establish a legacy where hospitality and determination meet a smooth and rebellious spirit. Raise a glass with us and discover why everything’s bigger (and better) in Texas.
OUR ROOTS
From our humble beginnings as entrepreneurs, rebelling from our traditional 9-5’s, we’ve infused the enduring "Spirit of the West" in everything we do. Western Son Vodka boasts a history that captures the essence of American-made spirits, fusing tradition and craft with ingenuity and enthusiasm.
As a Texas-based distillery, we're proud of our heritage. Our two campuses house more than production facilities; they stand as a testament to the authenticity and artistry of our craft, offering a warm welcome to everyone who walks through our doors. Our Pilot Point location also boasts quite the history, well before the birth of Western Son. These walls have witnessed a fascinating transformation; where we currently sit was once home to a bustling undergarment manufacturing facility, which we lovingly refer to as “the panty factory.” The locals that worked at this facility live on in the distillery today, and memorabilia from their time here can be found throughout our home base.

OUR PROCESS
Some say the process of distilling is a science, and others claim that vodka-making is an art. Western Son’s Distillers would say it's both: "Sure we have a recipe that we use to make our vodka, but the magic happens when we take the best ingredients and expand the traditional distillation process, creating a high-quality, smooth vodka with a clean finish.”
The distillation process of our craft spirits follows the same essence that we encompass as a brand, honoring tradition while embracing ingenuity.

OUR COMMITMENT
Western Son is committed to serving our community and honoring the heroes among us. With this commitment in mind, we donate a portion of the profits from each bottle to the Peter Burks Unsung Hero Fund, which is dedicated to carrying on the legacy of 2LT Peter Burks. Before he was killed in action, Peter encouraged family and friends to send care packages to deployed military to provide encouragement to those serving on the front lines.
Since December 2007, the Unsung Hero Fund has shipped over 46,000 pounds of care packages to deployed military around the world and provided countless humanitarian supplies for use in building connections with local citizens in war zones. We’re proud to honor Peter Burks and the Unsung Hero Fund with our donations.
