Founded in 2006 by American Liquor Pioneer & Master Distiller  Kelly Railean of Railean Distillery, the Railean Distillery was the first legal rum distillery in Texas and has since expanded the portfolio with the manufacturing of Vodka, Agave Spirits (Tequila) and Whiskey in addition to 7 different Rum offerings. After aggressive lobbying in Austin, Railean won the ability to sell spirits in bottles and cocktails at their facility. As a result, The Railean Distillery opened their tasting room, The Buccaneer Craft Cocktail Bar, to the public in 2013 offering +100 Craft Cocktails, Flights, Rocks, Shots, live music, tours, events and more.
