I wasn’t sure what to expect with this since Brimstone was my only experience with Balcones to date. I was pleasantly surprised at the complexity of this whisky. I sampled it right after a Macallan 15 and while different, the Texas single malt holds its own against the scotch. Sweet and buttery, with a hint of marmalade. I can tell this was made where Brimstone is distilled. There’s an ever-so-delicate whiff of smoke in the finish. Overall an enjoyable single malt whisky. 🥃
