Tasting Notes

"Balcones Lineage comes on strong with notes of cherry wood smoke, fresh-cut wood, leather, and vanilla. As it fades, it leaves traces of walnut and anise. An assertive whisky with a heavy oak influence, it's an intriguing contribution to the evolving category of American single malts."
