Maverick Distilling
Overview of the Distillery
Maverick Distilling is based in San Antonio and, under the name Maverick Whiskey, crafts Texas spirits. The distillery ties its identity to Sam and Mary Maverick and to the parcel of land where the family homestead once stood. The products are available from retailers, bars and restaurants across Texas, and the distillery combines local history with a profile as a craft producer.
History
The Maverick name directly draws on Samuel Augustus Maverick (1803–1870) and his wife Mary. Sam Maverick's life spans from his role in Texas' early political life and participation in events around the Alamo in 1836 to multiple terms as mayor of San Antonio. Sam and Mary arrived in Texas in early 1838 and settled in San Antonio, where they became prominent citizens. Mary kept journals, was active in preserving the Alamo and in St. Mark's Church, while Sam accumulated substantial landholdings during the 1840s. The distillery highlights that it sits on the corner of the parcel where the family homestead used to be, and uses this local grounding as part of its story.
