Balcones Rum Cask Finish Texas Single Malt Whiskey (700ml) Volume: 700ml           ABV: 61.8%           Age: No Age Statement           Country: America Established in 2008 Balcones Distillery was created to deliver a product that is original and and authentic. More importantly it was to deliver this right in the heart of Texas. Taking an old welding shop under a bridge in Waco it was slowly transformed into a whisky distillery and in 2009 the first spirit ran through the stills. The producers here source local grain, blue corn from New Mexico, Texas grown malted barley, local re-coopered barrels and rain water. The idea is to create whisky that is recognizable and delectable. Ageing here is performed in a unique climate, barrels ‘breathe’ much faster than in Scotland which causes the oak flavours to mingle quicker and accelerates the ageing process. This is whisky that is full of rich flavours and bursting with character. Balcones Classic Edition Single malt delivers exactly what was expected, big bold flavours. Distilled at the Balcones Distillery in Texas using local malted barley and placed inside ex-Bourbon American oak barrels to mature. Aptly named Balcones “1” Texas Single Malt. Definitely worth a bottle purchase for the whisky cabinet at home. Our Tasting Notes Nose: Honey sweetness, stewed pears, banana fritters, vanilla and toasted nuts. Palate: Ripe orchard fruits of pears and apples, melted butter and dark caramel. Finish: Long and satisfying, rich malt, oak and spices.  . For adults of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly.
