Balcones Select Single Barrel AMERICAN OAK by Barrel and Bottle

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 collectible 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.

Balcones Select Single Barrel AMERICAN OAK by Barrel and Bottle Tasting Notes

Nose: Most mild of the three. Pears/fruits and candy. Oak comes through at the end

Palate: The wood and body of "Balcones", not overly oaked, subtle fruit blend. Whole wheat toast with butter. Burnt caramel, but light. Just a few drops of water blends the flavors together, a touch more of the wood comes out.

Finish: Caramel comes through just a bit and the wood pleasantly lingers. Tasted neat, its warm, but would not realize its 65.7%, w/ water you really feel the higher proof.

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.
