Looks like a 2021 batch. Clocks in at 64.4%. N: Creamed corn, but creamed in milk chocolate, yeah. Shaving soap, ethanol, rye grain, chocolate cereal grain, cleaning supplies, some fresh rye herbs. Some citrus and other fruit notes seem to land as your nose adjusts. P: Earthy and herbal with milk chocolate breaking through. Sweet corn, cooked beef, charred oak, young rye cereal grain notes, boozy. F: Hot, earthy, some chocolate, some rye, some cinnamon, some oak, some mint. One of the least impressive Balcones bottles I've had, and I think the fact it's Balcones is hurting the score a bit - I keep asking myself if I didn't have Balcones expectations here, would I rate it differently? So far, it's a soft no, leaning toward maybe. I don't think it'd be fair to rate it different, but it's so hard to separate expectations from the review. Anyway, I digress. The biggest issue I have with this is just that it tastes too much like a young rye - green with undeveloped herbal notes, and some dried vegetation. It's the kind of rye I'm not so fond of. It's just underwhelming. And too hot - it might improve with water, but I'm just not in the water habit with the exception of an ice cube every once in a while. Can't recall if I did that with this bottle - probably, and it probably wasn't very memorable. I would pass on this in the future. ____________ Please come join an unofficial Distiller community on Discord (now one whole year old!): https://discord.gg/VSmCvzAQfH.
