Balcones Texas Single Malt

A very interesting single malt American whisky from Texas, this was distilled at Balcones and was "yard-aged" in ex-bourbon American oak before bottling. Expect huge flavours from this one...

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Freshly baked banana bread with undertones of honey and vanilla and just the faintest hint of cedar wood at the back. Suggestions of roasted chestnuts and heavy cream.

Palate

Ester-y with apple and orchard fruits. Brown sugar makes an appearance and transforms into molasses.

Finish

Warm, woody spices and some breadiness, but not necessarily maltiness, completes this luscious single malt.

Brutal

Way too muck going on for my liking. Its what you might expect from a Spanish brandy but i really dont understand how this stuff can be market as whiskey. As single malt whiskey goes its brutal.

Like a Texas afternoon

Rather beautiful, challenging, complex and full. Sweet fruits, brown sugar and dark wood, with a depth that unfolds slowly, in a smooth honey-like sip. Perfect for a lazy Southern afternoon.

Great for one

This is my first Texas whisky and it is a mood pour. It is closed when you start and then bam nice flavour but it gets far too intense.

A Delicious Experience

Just a rich, delicious, flavorful dram. Give the bottle a week or two to open up and you will be well rewarded.

To hot to handle

Excellent whisky lots of flavours. But its simply to hot to handle. Tried it with water , Tried it with ice. What im left with is a excellent whisky, but whatever i do i cant handle this beast. So do you prefer lots of flavours but keep up with the acetone feeling ? or du you want to let all these incredible flavours open up. Either way its one or the otner explosion of flavours with the acetone lurking or different tries a little of all? In short if you want the explosion and accept the accerone its a 5 star. Want the flavours without it its 1 or 2 stars. And thats why i rate it 3,5 love it or hate it.
