Balcones Texas Blue Corn Bourbon

Strong but not in a flavor I like. Backend is especially not to my taste

This is a brash, complex, brawling, rawbone bourbon that just screams Texas right in your face. The label is perfect too. It’s got an ear of blue corn on it that’s so pretty you think maybe this is a gentle and delicate little whiskey. It ain’t. 130 proof. I drank mine, slapped the bar, and let out a couple of yips. Brother or sister, you want to taste this whiskey. It’s got everything you want in a bourbon. All the sweet notes, toffee and caramel and vanilla. Honestly, I can’t tell the difference between those, but they are there. Like candy. Rich too. Deep. Dark red. This is just a beautiful Texas Bourbon. And get ready to start saying “Texas Bourbon” more often. Take notice, Kentucky. We’re making your whiskey down here now and we’re doing it right.

Given to me as a gift, this one is released only on special occasions. It's an easy drinker and great over ice.
