Balcones True Blue 100 Proof Bourbon Whiskey (750 ml)

In 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea driven by a passion to create something original and authentic, right here in the Heart of Texas. It all started in an old welding shop under a bridge in Waco. For the next year, we replaced the roofing, knocked out walls, laid brick, cut pipes, installed copper pot stills from Portugal, and shoehorned a whisky distillery inside that quaint building. Proud of what we had accomplished on our own, we began distilling in 2009.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rripe apricots & mango with cinnamon, singed sugar on top of cocoa and dried chillies
• Palate: Deep oak and char, black tea and salty baking chocolate, old leather, roasted corn and coffee
• Finish: Lingering dried cherries & blackberries followed by toasty bitter chocolate with pleasant oak tannins
