Balcones Texas Single Malt Single Barrel
American Single Malt — Texas, USA

Malted barley, sawdust, honey, caramel, and pear on the nose. A drop of water brought out haybales, corn, grass and a subtle peachiness. It’s a very American aroma.
Palate is brown raisin bread, summer fruit, tangy salted nuts, molasses, leather, and oak. There’s a shifting baseline of sweet and savory that’s fun, but not easy, to pin down. Oregano and caramel, cinnamon and cocoa, rosemary and brown sugar, they all come into the mix.
Long spicy savory finish.
A great entry in the evolving USA whiskey category that deserves to be compared with stand-outs from St George and Redwood Empire and Ransom and High West and Barrell and Cedar Ridge.
