Western Son Vodka Takes Flight with JSX 

Texas-based vodka brand joins forces with hop-on jet service to offer in-flight spirits beginning July 24

Premium vodka brand, Western Son Vodka, takes to the skies with a high-flying new partnership with JSX, the award-winning hop-on jet service known for hassle-free public charter flights between dedicated hangars. Beginning July 24, Western Son Original Vodka will be available complimentary onboard all JSX flights across the United States and Mexico.

This in-flight debut marks a significant growth milestone for the vodka brand, marking the first time Western Son will be featured as part of a curated premium beverage lineup in aviation.

“To be featured on JSX is a game-changer,” said Vice President of Marketing & On-Premise Erin King. “Not only is JSX elevating regional travel, but they’re doing it with brands that reflect their values: quality, innovation and a strong connection to its roots. For a Texas-born, independently-owned vodka like ours, this is more than visibility, it’s validation that what we’re building resonates far beyond our home state.”

As JSX operates up to 140 daily flights to 28 business and leisure destinations across the U.S. and Mexico, Western Son is poised to reach new audiences in high-opportunity markets such as California, Florida and Nevada — in addition to growing its loyal following in Texas.

“Our experienced selection panel unanimously selected Western Son in a blinded taste test, demonstrating the craftsmanship and character of this premium vodka,” said Senior Director of Customer Experience Ben Kaufman. “As a fellow North Texas-based company, JSX is excited to bring our customers a local brand that’s sure to impress on a national scale.”

Passengers aboard JSX can enjoy Western Son Vodka alongside complimentary gourmet snacks, beer, wine and other spirits. Known for its business-class legroom, quick check-in via private terminals and free onboard Starlink Wi-Fi, JSX offers a modern, premium flying experience without the hassle of traditional commercial travel.

Crafted in Texas and recognized nationwide, Western Son Vodka is known for its exceptional quality and smooth, clean taste — 10X distilled using only the finest ingredients. The brand’s commitment to craftsmanship continues to raise the bar in the world of craft spirits.
