Balcones 1 Peated Texas Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 59% Age: No Age Statement Country: America
Established in 2008 Balcones Distillery was created to deliver a product that is original and and authentic. More importantly it was to deliver this right in the heart of Texas. Taking an old welding shop under a bridge in Waco it was slowly transformed into a whisky distillery and in 2009 the first spirit ran through the stills.
The producers here source local grain, blue corn from New Mexico, Texas grown malted barley, local re-coopered barrels and rain water. The idea is to create whisky that is recognizable and delectable. Ageing here is performed in a unique climate, barrels ‘breathe’ much faster than in Scotland which causes the oak flavours to mingle quicker and accelerates the ageing process. This is whisky that is full of rich flavours and bursting with character.
After importing peated Golden Promise malted barley from Scotland the team at Balcones have created a beautiful spirit. The spirit has then been rested in new oak for three years to created whisky that the Scots would be proud of. Bottled at 59% Alc/Vol and released as part of the distilleries annual offerings.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Wonderful sweet dried fruits, raisins and sultanas, toasted figs and ripe plums, zesty orange, toasted crushed nuts and hints of cured meats and soft peat smoke.
Palate: Smoked meats and Scottish kippers, oak spices and peat reek, hints of black pepper and plenty of malty goodness.
Finish: Smouldering oak and dark chocolate along with smoked spices and salted caramel gives this whisky a long finish.
