Balcones Texas Pot Still Bourbon

I have whined for a couple years that Balcones products were not available in my state. That has changed in the new year. A limited number of Balcones products have appeared on the shelves of a couple stores in my area. I can only hope for more in the future. The nose of this pot still bourbon is unlike any other I have experienced. The nose is ripe fruit, candy, corn, and cereal. In the mouth the first thing I noticed was how viscous it is, almost oily. Next the flavors of corn, dark honey, nuts, and vanilla. The finish lingers and the corn sweetness is there to the end. This will not become my favorite bourbon--but I will repurchase and continue to enjoy. The overall experience of its nose, mouthfeel, and flavors is unique to me in the bourbon world. Unique and enjoyable.

I couldn’t finish the pour. Only one every for me. Bad finish flavor.

This is the second bottle I’ve had from Balcones and I’ve loved them both. It definitely lets you know the corn is there.
