    Balcones Baby Blue Corn

    This is the first Texan whisky, as well as being the first whisky to be distilled from blue corn! When we first tried this we thought it was wonderful, though very "different". These days it's become a firm favourite, along with the rest of the craft distillery's fantastic releases.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Soft vanilla and notes of candied peel. Caramelised bananas, toasted oak and a little creamy cereal sweetness.

    Palate

    Rich, thick, palate entry. A touch of dark caramel and baked apple. Baking spices, salted butter.

    Finish

    Spiced, medium finish. Quite sweet.

    Great Whisky!

    This is a great whisky. I don't get why people are comparing to tequila, it tastes nothing like it. It smooth, beautiful aroma and taste. I think people may have a problem with Texas, and are blaming this whisky. I will buy it again, and again, etc.

    Understand Corn Whiskey!

    Interesting negative comments. I’m a peat-smoke scotch guy but allow a bit more latitude in my American whiskey sampling. This is a corn whiskey. As such, it fits in a very unique bandwidth of flavors. For those of us who enjoy corn whiskey’s, this is quite good. In this catagory one doesn’t go diving for the most obscure phenols but rather enjoy the simple sweetness of candies and a well rounded flavor. I find it a wonderful balance to Scotch smoke and Bourbon wood.

    Not good

    Smells better than it tastes. Hint of tequila, sour cider after taste. Astringent.

    Distinct taste not for everybody

    I enjoy a variety of whiskeys, bourbons, and ryes and really wanted to like this as Texas is getting some really good distillers, but I was not impressed by the the Baby Blue. Tried it both neat, with ice, and in a cocktail. While it was better as it breathed I did not enjoy it, and it tasted artificial/manufactured with the hint of tequila others have mentioned. Quality control might be an issue as I am not sure how this won awards.

    Not sure how I feel about this

    It is unique, I have to give it that. Not quite sure what to think about it, but I can say that second time I went to the bottle to try it out, it very closely resembled tequila. Totally thrown off by this. The following night I used it to make a Cadillac margarita. Not bad! Found the bottle at Total Wine for $40. Looking forward to trying the brimstone version. I heard it’s really aggressive.
