Balcones Texas Pot Still Bourbon

Disclaimer.....I’m a Texan and this is our local stuff. I’ve tried a bunch of local bourbon and have not liked much of it. Just trying to be transparent but I’m definitely rooting for Texas bourbon to break out. Ok so here goes. TLDR....it’s weird but I like it. White sugar, orange, oak, and leather on the nose with heavy alcohol up front. It’s unique and interesting but smells young. It hits sweet up from on the palate but only like sugar not vanilla as in most bourbons. The oak and leather show up in the finish which is surprisingly long. This is definitely a new territory of bourbon but I like it. It somehow reminds me of scotch. There’s much to be improved on but I like where it’s going. At $28 I’ll keep buying this stuff.

Dark fruit on the nose and palate. Finish is minimal and quick. Price point it not bad, but even with that I think this will be the only bottle of this I’ll buy.

Pretty strong, great flavor. Can taste the oak from the barrels and a nice little spice in the finish. Vanilla is strong throughout

The most different bourbon yet. Buttery sweet on the nose and palate
