Balcones Cataleja

American Single Malt — Texas, USA

Reviewed June 12, 2025 (edited March 21, 2026)
5.0
5.0 out of 5 stars
Updated Review....I now have over 250 bottles. My initial sit down with this one I was very torn as to if I loved it or hated it. I'm now on bottle number 2 and it's become my one of my favorites. It can be totally overpowering especially for people that think Blanton's (Single Barrel) is the standard. Everything from the nose to the finish are over the top, this is absolutely the most complex bottle I own or have ever tried and all the notes confuse the hell out of some people. If you not a fan of heavily or even mildly peaty Scotch or American Single Malts ..you bought the wrong bottle. The biggest issue I see in the reviews is people expect this to taste like a bourbon. It's a 100% GOLD PROMISE BARLEY Single Malt that's been finished in FOUR different Spanish Sherry Cask..its not going to taste like bourbon. I have about 30 American Single Malt's and Scotch's and it is hand down my favorite and in my top three overall but it's definitely not for guys that are only into bourbon. If you have one and hate it, revisit a 2 oz. pour with a teaspoon of water. I've have friend try it and hate it, and after tasting with water they ran down a bottle.
