Nose is sweet, sticky, and kind of glorious; iced cinnamon roll, praline, French vanilla, toasted agave, cornbread, and a hint of wood smoke. Ethanol is low low low. Agave presence magnified as time passed. Wow, palate is wild. Caramel drizzled flan, buttered popcorn, agave, butterscotch, Bailey’s liquor, maple, and rock salt. Flavors have richness but there’s a lightness that keeps thing from getting too cloying. That said it’s not a complexity king. Finish is very long with vanilla ice cream, more butterscotch, even more caramel (this time in the form of straight up caramel syrup) black pepper, mint, roasted nut (pecan?) and a lingering oak note after everything else fades. One of the first Balcones products where the wood tastes like oak instead of mesquite. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, but smooth and silky. Slight effervescence on the finish which worked for me. Man if you love caramel, this is your jam. Bold, all over the place, and yet somehow it comes together. The corn/agave combination which makes zero sense on paper, works wonders in practice. Delicious and 100% unique which earns a few extra points in my book. At $90 I can easily justify a rebuy here. I need more hard to find Balcones expressions in my life.
