Detailed Description
Detailed Description
Barrel and Bottle are all hand selected premium barrels and bottled in a bespoke custom ceramic bottle that will present the brand in its intended “raw” Straight from the Cask form. The whisky will be at cask strength and unfiltered. This will provide for a rich full flavor and genuine barrel proof. Bottles will be produced by Wade Ceramics, the producer of the Kraken Rum Bottle, the Johnnie Walker ceramic collectable bottle and the Tullamore Dew ceramic green jug, among others. The bottles will all be filled on a craft bottling line and labeled and individually numbered by hand. David Sweet Background and Info: David Sweet has a long standing and globally recognized expertise in whisky tasting events. In his previous role as Sr. VP North America of Whisky Magazine and President/owner Whisky LIVE USA, he has had the opportunity to successfully select and promote over 45 different celebratory bottle selections, several of which even today are coveted and are considered collector’s whiskies and premium examples of the brand.
Balcones Select Single Barrel FRENCH OAK by Barrel and Bottle Tasting Notes
Nose: Incredibly flora and aromatic. Lightens up ad gives way to sweet caramel and fruits. Most pronounced of the three. Water dramatically adds to the floral and fruit.
Palate: All the spice! Tangy citrus and orange, wood and caramel. Water reduces the spice but heightens the sweet fruit.
Finish: Zesty orange peel. Just a touch of the wood. Feel the proof at 65.9% more than the others, but oh its a good burn. Just a few drops of water greatly reduces the burn and brings soft caramel to the surface. Wait for it.
Distillery Information
A quarter mile from downtown Waco, Texas, in a neighborhood of long abandoned storefronts, is a small, rusted-metal shed hidden beneath the 17th Street Bridge. The one-time welding shop sits in between the overpass' enormous support pillars, next to a white trailer. It's a safe bet none of the drivers know they're speeding over the worldwide headquarters of Balcones Distilling, the maker of the finest new whiskey in America.
