Down in Waco, Texas, Balcones is known for making spirits with big, bold and powerful flavour profiles since 2008. Notably, Balcones uses the “whisky” spelling versus the typical American spelling of “whiskey.” Made grain-to-glass using a traditional pot still distillation ensures a rich and viscous spirit that stands up to aging in new charred oak without losing its essence. Each dram is full of character and body, with an aromatic entry and soft finish, for an approachable yet memorable experience. Built upon a mash bill of blue corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. The nose is all about honeycrisp apples, toasted oak, kettle corn and oiled glove on the nose. The palate offers honey, sweet cream, candied pecans, sandalwood and leather. The finish is soft and sweet, with a drying and tannic fade and lingering spice.
