BALCONES TEXAS RYE CASK STRENGTH EX-PINOT BARREL FINISH

Specs single barrel pick, barrel #28368. 31 months in barrel, new American oak and finished in 1st use California Pinot noir cask, then transferred to used Kentucky bourbon barrel. Ethanol is noticeable on the nose, but pick up the sweet chocolate notes. Chocolate rye bread on the taste with a lingering rye spice finish. Definite Balcones and unique rye whiskey. Rich and thick. Not picking up much of the Pinot influence. Makes for a good dessert sip.
