Totem is the boldest expression of what we do at Real Spirits — a spirit born from beer, land, and imagination. It begins as a passionfruit wheat beer from our brewhouse. Because Totem is distilled from a blend of malted barley, wheat, and fruit, it’s technically a hybrid of whiskey and brandy, bridging the depth of grain with the brightness of fruit. Inspired by Oaxacan pechuga — a traditional style of mezcal distilled a third time with raw chicken or turkey breast, fruits, nuts, and spices to create a rich, savory spirit reserved for special occasions — Totem reimagines that tradition through a Hill Country lens. Each batch is distilled with select fruits, herbs, and spices from Texas, while a wild hog ham is suspended above the wash to enrich texture and depth. Expect notes of sweet malt, tropical fruit, warm spice, a gentle floral lift, and a subtle thread of smoke, all carried by a rich, rounded texture that reflects the Hill Country itself. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in a bright, citrus-forward margarita.
