About

On October 2, 1835, the First Shot of the Texas Revolution was fired at the Battle of Gonzales. We proud Texans at First Shot Distillery in Gonzales County, Texas chose our name for another reason – First Shot Topinambur is an American spirit distilled from American-grown sunchoke and is the only Topinambur of its kind in the world!

We own the entire sunchoke agricultural production model from farm to glass, and we are proud that our model topples the traditional spirits production and distribution model – not a new way of using corn, wheat, and other small grains, or some novel procedure for adding carbonated flavored water or syrup to spirits.

This is the First Shot at the first new product to enter the spirits industry in over 100 years! We think it is worth the wait. Enjoy our Topinambur, and welcome to the revolution!
