66.4% ABV (132.8 Proof), 750 ml
This is a Texas single malt whiskey bottled exclusively by Balcones for Blackwell’s.
“A timeless style of malt whisky, Balcones “1” Texas Single Malt breathes new life into centuries of distilling tradition with classic techniques and ingredients adapted for New World tastes. Opening aromas bear hints of toffee and overripe fruits. On the palate, layers of toasted malt and honey give way to mellow notes of baked pears and apples. A long finish is accompanied by cinnamon and cloves. Texas made, Texas proud, we hope you enjoy the whisky we owe our success to as much as we enjoy making it.”
“Warm boiled grains are inviting and comforting aromas. In the mouth it is silken, with corn and wheat flavors shining through, cinnamon spice and mild cedar. The flavors turn roasted with charred wood and caramelized grains at the end.” 93 Points, Excellent, Highly Recommended, 2017 Ultimate Spirits Challenge
