FREDERICKSBURG, Texas, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Arch Ray Resort is pleased to release of its
Paul Bee Distillery Silver Rum and Blanco Tequila. Both spirits are
available to enjoy at the Distillery, 1894 Ranch to Table
Restaurant, and for purchase to take away and enjoy at home.
We spent 18 months searching for a product
that met our standards for flavor and quality. With this tequilería
partnership, we are hands-on and in control of every aspect of
production from the harvesting of the piñas, to fermentation,
distillation, and barrel aging.
Arch Ray Resort is a full-service resort including the 1894
Ranch To Table restaurant, Paul Bee Distillery, Ogle Brewery, Arch
Ray Winery, conference center, an RV park, and the new Living Tree
Amphitheater live music venue. It is a destination for relaxation
with a vacation residential community and a luxury hotel in
development.
Paul Bee Distillery located within the Arch Ray Resort uses a
German-made hybrid pot and column still to produce a variety of
spirits including bourbon, gin, and vodka. The spirits made and
aged at Paul Bee Distillery are available in a full menu of
cocktails served at the resort, as well as ready-to-drink canned
cocktails. Paul Bee Distillery is expanding its spirits line-up
with its first rum distilled on-site and a new Blanco Tequila.
The Paul Bee Blanco Tequila was hand-selected by Arch Ray's
distiller and brewer, Jerry Elliott.
The production process for the Tequila starts with mature organic
agave azul from the Jalisco region
in Mexico. They are harvested for
cooking in traditional stone ovens before fermentation. It is then
distilled in copper pot stills before being bottled at 80-proof to
produce an incredibly smooth, bright-tasting tequila. Paul Bee
Blanco Tequila has herbal and pepper notes and an agave sweetness
and a floral finish. It is delicious on ice and in your favorite
margarita and paloma recipes.
"Jerry Elliott, our distiller and
brewer, and I hand-picked the Blanco Tequila from an esteemed
tequilería in Jalisco, Mexico,"
says Dustin Cramer, director of
production operations. "We spent 18 months searching for a product
that met our standards for flavor and quality. We have built a
great rapport with the tequilería where we sourced this exquisite
Tequila and we have been invited to travel there to produce our
product onsite. With this partnership, we are hands-on and in
control of every aspect of production and all decision-making. We
are involved in every step of the process from the harvesting of
the piñas, to baking the piñas, shredding the piñas, fermentation,
distillation, and implementing a barrel aging program for our
products. The release of this Blanco Tequila is just the
beginning."
The Paul Bee Silver Rum is fermented, distilled, and bottled
onsite at Arch Ray. Similar to the sour mash process in whiskey
production, the Paul Bee distilling team starts the process with
dunder from previous fermentation and distillation runs to impart
flavors into the new rum batch. Molasses wash is distilled in a
copper 500-gallon hybrid still. The first run uses the column still
with copper plates. The second run, or spirit run, uses a pot still
which helps carry over more flavors to the finished product,
achieving a robust flavor profile. The rum is bottled at 80-proof,
retaining aromas of sweet earthy molasses, with stone fruit or
cherry, and tastes smooth and sweet with a creamy vanilla flavor on
the finish.
"Texas has become well known
for producing excellent distilled spirits," adds Cramer. "We are
excited to have our distillery producing excellent spirits that
people enjoy. There is nothing better on a warm Texas day than enjoying a Margarita with
excellent Tequila or Mojito with locally made rum. Paul Bee
Distillery is becoming a massive draw for cocktail lovers in
Texas to visit Arch Ray Resort,
and to take away bottles to enjoy at home."
Pricing and Availability
Paul Bee Distillery Rum and Blanco Tequila are available in
750ml bottles for a suggested retail price of $45 at the distillery tasting room in the Arch
