Pinkerton's Distillery
West Texas First Distillery
The Distillery is located on the east side of Hwy 87 Between 82nd and 98th Street. It’s just south of Pedro’s Tamales. The entrance to the complex is at the point where the access road of Hwy 87 converges into one lane. The entrance is between a strip shop and 806 Desert Customs truck accessory shop with a black iron fence. Follow the road to the right. It will make you turn left. Then take the first left and I am at the end of the row on the left #123.
