Balcones Grand Cru

Much sweeter than other balcones whiskies but very nice. Smooth and fruity on the tongue with a strong smell of caramel on the nose. Best with ice

Nose: sweet malt, burnt sugar, ethanol Palate: surprised that up front was all thick malty richness with tons of simple syrup, but then transitioned to banana and yeasty esters from the beer barrel. Finish: surprisingly strong oak, brown sugar, simple syrup, and a gentle yeast finish Giving such a high score because it is really well done for what they wanted to accomplish. It’s not up my alley but glad I got to drink it.
