Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky is a pioneering American single malt whiskey, crafted at the Balcones distillery in Waco, Texas. This whiskey is made exclusively from 100% malted barley and distilled in copper pot stills, contributing to its rich and complex flavor.
It is aged in a combination of new and used American, French, and Hungarian oak barrels, resulting in a unique flavor profile. Thanks to the Texas climate, the maturation process is accelerated, allowing the whiskey to develop deep and intense aromas in a relatively short period.
With an alcohol content of 53% ABV, Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky offers rich notes of ripe fruit, honey, and toasted bread, with a long-lasting finish featuring hints of cinnamon and clove.
