Balcones Texas Single Malt
American Single Malt
Balcones // Texas, USA
Balcones is known for its maverick whisky approach - playing with mash bills and wood finishes, using techniques unheard of 'til now. Balcones Single Malt is a Texas version of Scotch single malt whisky, made with unpeated 100% malted barley.
That's nothing new. What distinguishes it from others is the aging process - combining small batches of the whisky aged in different sized barrels before blending them together to finish maturation in one big barrel.

Tasting Notes
"Everything's bigger in Texas, and that holds true for this whisky. The wood influences give it a big Yosemite Sam entrance before introducing the caramel, dried fruit, ripe golden fruits, cashew nuts and sweet spice. Finishes with a deep malty flavor."
