Some Texas rock ’n’ roll legends known for being beer drinkers and hell raisers have partnered with a local distillery to release a boozy new commodity that’s really got some legs.
Waco-based Balcones Distilling announced in early November that it is unveiling a new one-of-a-kind whiskey with collaborators and music icons ZZ Top. Dubbed Tres Hombres, in honor of the band’s first top 10 album, from 1973, the joint effort stems from a shared and prized Texas heritage and, of course, a fondness for the fiery spirit.
“ZZ Top’s love of Texas runs deep, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate that than by creating something together with Balcones, the original Texas whiskey,” says Carl Stubner, ZZ Top’s manager. “Tres Hombres exemplifies what can be achieved when brands care deeply about their respective products and legacy.”
Though Tres Hombres isn’t Balcones Distilling’s first boozy venture that celebrates a Texas legend, it’s likely one whiskey lovers will double back for again and again. The whiskey was years in the making, with Balcones Distilling even coordinating virtual tasting and blending chats with ZZ Top over Zoom.

Very witty :)
It doesn’t make sense not to call this Top Shelf something or other when that it where the name was drived from.
I see a hangover on the horizon.
Just put on some cheap sunglasses.

ZZ Top has come a long way from the 7&7 days at the 29 Palms E-Club in the early 1980s.

MTV made them a smash.
“ZZ Top Shelf.”
A bottle of ZZ Top Shelf and some snazzy threads cause every girls crazy for a sharp dressed man.
Have you heard....what’s the word....it’s Thunderbird!
And you’ll get arrested for driving while blind.
How could anyone be so unkind?
I gave up that drinking and driving many many years ago.
I miss the good old days where that was considered a skill.
Ladies feel free to wear your pearl necklace.
