Treaty Oak’s 25-acre distillery, located in Dripping Springs, Texas will play a crucial role in HBB’s goal to secure organic certification and expand nationally.
High Basin Brands (HBB), a new premium spirits company based in Dripping Springs, Texas, has launched with a successful $4 million seed round, nearly doubling its initial target. The company aims to redefine the organic spirits landscape, bringing together a team of seasoned industry experts. Their strategy focuses on producing sustainably crafted beverages that meet growing consumer demand for high-quality, environmentally responsible spirits.
A key move in HBB’s growth strategy is the acquisition of Treaty Oak Brewing and Distilling, one of Texas’ oldest distilleries. This asset purchase not only strengthens HBB’s portfolio but also positions the company to become a major player in the premium organic spirits market. Treaty Oak’s 25-acre distillery, located in Dripping Springs, will play a crucial role in HBB’s goal to secure organic certification and expand nationally. The acquisition aligns with HBB’s “grain-to-glass” production model, which emphasizes sustainability through the use of locally sourced, heirloom grains and environmentally conscious practices.
Acquiring Treaty Oak is a transformative step in expanding our portfolio and leading the industry toward more conscious consumption. With so few certified organic whiskey options currently available, we’re excited to fill that gap by transitioning Treaty Oak to organic production. We believe consumers deserve not only exceptional quality but also transparency and sustainability in what they drink. By aligning our production with organic standards, we’re positioning Treaty Oak to meet the demand for spirits that prioritize both taste and environmental responsibility.
– Jordan Rothschild-Noomé, CMO of High Basin Brands
