Balcones Distilling Texas Single Malt Whisky
A timeless style of malt whisky, Balcones a1a Texas Single Malt breathes new life into centuries of distilling tradition with classic techniques and ingredients adapted for New World tastes. Opening aromas bear hints of toffee and overripe fruits. On the palate, layers of toasted malt and honey give way to mellow notes of baked pears and apples. A long finish is accompanied by cinnamon and cloves. Texas made, Texas proud, we hope you enjoy the whisky we owe our success to as much as we enjoy making it.

Nose: The aroma opens with a bright and enticing bouquet of crisp green apples and fresh pears, quickly followed by deeper notes of vanilla custard, honeyed malt, and a light, biscuity sweetness reminiscent of shortbread
Palate: On the tongue, it feels mellow and well-balanced, featuring a silky mouthfeel that layers flavors of toasted marshmallows, creamy citrus, and soft apricot over a subtle foundation of gentle oak spice and malted cereal
Finish: The experience concludes with a clean, medium-length finish that leaves behind a pleasant warmth of peppery spice, lingering orchard fruit, and a final, faint touch of charred oak.
