Balcones Baby Blue

Upon opening the bottle, got some alcohol smell and syrupy sweetness, just from the nose I could tell it was a young whiskey. In the glass it has some nice oiliness to it, with the runners slow and thick on a glass swirl. Alcohol harshness on the front end of the palate, but quickly gave way to a pleasant mix of buttered popcorn and vanilla sweetness. Medium finish that carries the sweetness all the way through. a little water helps open it up and take the front end harshness. Definitely worth picking up for the uniqueness.

Young and really rough pour. A lot going on which is why I give it the 3rd star fot being interesting. I did not get any sweet notes, all grain.

One of my favorites from the Balcones line. Great Whiskey from nose to finish. Nose was buttery. Palate was a smooth sweat creamy butter. Finish was medium.

(What are the expert eaters thinking?!) 2.6 which I’ll round to 3. Tequila nose. Whiskey palette. Try it at a bar first! Way overpriced for the flavor. It’s not terrible, but I don’t plan to buy again.
