Balcones Texas Rye Cask Strength Max's Bottle Shop pick Barrel #20118 Bottled 3.3.22 46 months in New American Oak. Proof: 126.4 N: Cinnamon to red hots to undercurrents of vanilla and then to a spiced chocolate. This is Mexican Hot Chocolate! P: This is Mexican Hot Chocolate! Everything on the nose translates to the palate and in the same order you smell them I think. A touch of heat that I won't fault it for since we're in the mid 120s. This is a treat and unlike pretty much anything else I've had. Kings County Barrel Strength Empire Rye comes the closest, but it's dialed back a bit. This is fantastic! F: The Mexican Hot Chocolate notes just hang around. Amazing!
