Balcones Cataleja Single Malt Whiskey

Crafted meticulously with 100% Golden Promise malted barley, its journey begins in refill casks and culminates in a dance with decommissioned Sherry Solera puncheons. Notes of Moscatel, Amontillado Dulce, Oloroso, and Palo Cortado unite, crafting a symphony of flavors.

Balcones Cataleja Single Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Cataleja is bright yet earthy with notes of brandied figs dusted with smoked paprika that build to sautéed apricots served on an olive wood spoon. Deeper breaths reveal sophisticated savory notes of sobrasada garnished with orange zest, mossy cherry cavendish, and venison jerky in browned butter.

Palate: It is sticky with brooding notes of medjool dates stuffed with cashew butter, cacao nib, and ground clove which transitions to vibrant notes of eucalyptus oil and burnt lemon peel. Pineapple kebabs on matchstick and cinnamon skewers fade to a bittersweet finish of licor de hierbas and affogato made with cherry ice cream.

Finish: Quite delicate and smooth texture on the long finish.
