This whiskey is clearly Balcones, and it is also clearly Shiner Bock - both of which I happen to love! The nose and palate up front is all Balcones, and then it's all Shiner Bock on the finish. Don't go into this one expecting a typical whiskey profile or you may be disappointed. But if you go into it expecting something beautifully unique and wonderful, then I think you'll be very happy with it!
