Down in Waco, Texas, Balcones is known for making spirits with big, bold, powerful flavour profiles since 2008. Notably, Balcones uses the “whisky” spelling versus the typical American spelling of “whiskey.” A timeless style of malt whisky, Balcones “1” Texas Single Malt breathes new life into centuries of distilling tradition with classic techniques and ingredients adapted for New World tastes. Named “best whisky” many times over, Balcones Texas Single Malt is made from 100% Golden Promise barley and ”yard-aged” in ex-bourbon American oak before bottling. Nose of dried figs, caramelized sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Initial palette of cinnamon and sauteed pears. Slightly mellow mid-palate with notes of toasty malt and some nuttiness. Warm, drying finish with a subtle, roasted hazelnut flavor.
