Tastes

Noses clean. Alcohol. Cereal emerges in development. Fruit/peaches. Nice mouthfeel. Peaches and cream on tongue. Medium dry.

Stong cereal sweetness on nose. Hot holiday breakfast. Light body, sherry, some butter. Fairly delicate. Mostly cereal.

Nose is clean and astringent. Grass, new mown hay. Slight swimming pool and receding floral notes. Sugar candy. Pleasntly viscous mouthfeel. Warming but flavor is mostly alcohol. Some honey on the tip of the tongue. Slight lemon drop, so honey-lemon tea?

So this is a single . . . rye? Interesting. A 100/100? Hmmmm. Pretty harsh at the top, but flitting and fleeing complexity lies beneath the dark surface. Water is a friend here. Burnt butter? Elusive chemical notes. Some oak dust. Turpentine/solvent. Pipe bowl. Whisper of vanilla frosting. Ultimately, not my thing. Balcones continues to issue momentarily interesting novelties

Light and sweet. Spicy corn on the nose. Decent but not terribly complex. The charcoal comes late in the finish and adds a slight bitterness.

Sweet kick of vanilla and spice. Burned marshmallows on the nose. Some banana there too. Bananas foster? Some apple pie on the finish. Nice dessert sipper. My favorite to cook with!

Light bodied. Tastes of dust and dates. Nose is of alcohol and caramel. Not a nice finish. Hot in the throat and strange aftertaste.

Light body, nice tobacco and spice flavor. Sweet mellow corn nose.
