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.” The first Texas whisky on the market since Prohibition, Baby Blue is crafted from roasted blue corn. This rich and oily maize adds new sophistication to the corn whisky tradition while keeping the freshness and verve of classic American distilling. Intentionally youthful, Baby Blue captures the essence of this prized corn with a round nuttiness, roasted overtones and refined complexity. The mouthfeel is viscous with a soft finish. Melted butter, kettle corn, vanilla, toffee, cinnamon and nutmeg, fresh bread, honey, ground coffee on the nose. The taste offers tropical fruit, slight apricot, brown sugar, cotton candy, sweet tea with lemon, smoked chilis. A medium long warming finish with cinnamon, leather spice, mint and green peppercorns.
