5 Golden Years Anniversary Party & Bourbon Release at Chapline Distillery

Chapline Distillery is celebrating a major milestone with its 5 Golden Years Anniversary Party on Friday, January 23, 2026, and they’re marking the occasion the best way possible — with a special bourbon release, live music, food, and a full-on distillery celebration.

This is Chapline’s biggest party of the year, featuring live music from Jacob Kyle, food from the Lada Ladies food truck, drink specials, raffles, and plenty of reason to stick around and celebrate five years of Texas whiskey.

Special Release: “Golden’ears” Malted Corn Bourbon

To commemorate the anniversary, Chapline is releasing something truly special: “Golden’ears” Yellow Malted Corn Bourbon.

Inspired by Leopold Bros Floor Maltings and created in partnership with Maverick Malt House, this bourbon highlights malted yellow corn in a way you don’t see every day. It’s a single barrel, cask strength release, with tasting notes that lean into butterscotch and honeysuckle.

Quantities will be limited, and bottles will be available while supplies last, making this a must-hit stop for fans of unique Texas bourbon releases.

If you’ve enjoyed Chapline events before, be sure to check out their other upcoming happenings on the site. You can also browse more South Texas whiskey events or explore the full Texas Whiskey Events Calendar to keep your January stacked.

And while you’re planning your visit, a quick look at the Texas Whiskey Geek merch shop helps keep the calendar ad-free and focused on supporting Texas distilleries like Chapline.

Whiskey Geek Beanie

$16.00

Top off your whiskey wisdom in colder weather. This embroidered beanie carries the same quiet flex as the polo—made for the folks who know their mash bills, barrel finishes, and why spelling whisky without an “e” still sparks debate. It’s not loud, it’s not flashy—it’s a subtle nod to those in the know. Whether you’re at a distillery, a bottle share, or just braving a cold Texas morning, this beanie keeps your head warm and your whiskey geek credentials firmly intact.

Because knowledge never goes out of season.
