About Us
1693 Distillery
Family-owned, veteran-founded, and proudly based in Fredericksburg, Texas, 1693 Distillery was built from the ground up with a simple idea: to craft premium whiskeys and agave spirits that capture the spirit of the Hill Country. Our name, 1693, honors the elevation of our distillery — 1,693 feet — and the high standards we set for everything we create.
We’re the home of:
1693 Whiskey – rich, flavorful whiskeys made right here in the heart of Texas.
Elevación Agave Spirit – our Texas take on tequila, crafted from 100% Mexican agave and made to lift your spirits.
Our tasting room is where it all comes together.
You can sip whiskey and tequila flights, try one of our craft cocktails (or jello shots if you’re feeling bold), grab some food from our onsite truck, and catch live music almost every weekend.
