Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky, known to fans as Balcones 1, is the whisky that made Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas famous and one of the founding bottles of American single malt. It is made from 100% Golden Promise malted barley, the heritage Scottish variety, distilled in copper pot stills and aged in new American oak in the Texas heat, then bottled at 106 proof. It has won a shelf of international awards, including beating Scottish malts in blind tastings.
This is not a Scotch imitation. Breaking Bourbon described it as unusual and gripping, with a potent malty nose carrying dark cherry and baking spice, roasted walnut, cocoa and marzipan with dark fruit and tobacco on the palate, and a finish of caramel, honey and toasted nuts with lingering sweet and savory tobacco, calling it a challenging whisky for adventurous drinkers. Balcones describes honey, stone fruit, toasted oak and spice. Big, rich and unmistakably Texan, it is a must-try for anyone exploring American single malt.
