Balcones Texas Pot Still Bourbon

Delicious!

Sort of soft smell, corn of course, but also nuts, coffee, brown sugar, wheat bread, caramel, oak and vanilla. Little sweetness; more spice; coffee on the palate. Lots of grain and charred wood flavor. Roasted coffee and cinnamon in a short finish.

Not bad, a little sweet and caramelly

This is a unique-tasting bourbon. For that reason I THINK I like it overall. Lower proof for the Balcones line, which is nice for some. Sweet corn and some barrel/woody notes. Comparing this one with other classic bourbons (Makers, Knob Creek, Buffalo Trace, Evan Williams, Woodford) really brings out the differences. I’d imagine this would be killer in an Old Fashioned.

Unique taste. I think I like it

On the nose I'm getting vanilla, candied fruit, a little oak, and fresh corn. A good bit of ethenol burn on the taste no doubt due to the young age. Good rich mouth feel. Tastes of rich caramel, oak, and toasted corn. For the price, I like it a lot.

Dry, wood/barrel forward.
