Balcones Distilling Texas Single Malt Whisky
A timeless style of malt whisky, Balcones “1” 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: Rich honey, toffee, and vanilla lead with vibrant notes of fresh fruit and citrus zest, complemented by subtle hints of sandalwood and a faint sea saltiness from its ocean-aged finish.
Palate: A smooth, velvety mouthfeel reveals flavors of sweet, toasted coconut, caramel, and stewed apricot, followed by a mid-palate of exotic spices like ginger, cinnamon, and Japanese incense.
Finish: The finale is long, warming, and elegant, delivering lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and peppery spice alongside a whisper of dark chocolate and the signature sea breeze.
