"Balcones are unquestionably the masters of big whisky in the USA outside of Kentucky and Tennessee". - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2013

 

Each release in the 5th Anniversary series from Balcones has been met with outstanding acclaim and recognition. At the 2013 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition, Balcones' Texas Straight Bourbon was named "Best in Show" for all brown spirits entered while Brimstone Resurrection was also honored with a Double Gold Medal.
Balcones' Straight Single Malts mark the end of the revered 5th Anniversary series of single barrel whiskies from this celebrated Texas distillery. With most barrels yielding less than 200 bottles, these rare releases will disappear quickly.  

Balcones Brimstone Reserection release was crowned "World's Best American Whisky" at the World Whiskies Awards 2014

 Tasting note: Deep copper appearance. A thick, malty bouquet combines heavy vanilla with rum-like sugars and dense fruit cake notes. Creamy entry leads into a gently bittersweet, concentrated, chewy profile with mouth coating waves of sugars; Sweet spice, oatmeal biscuit and honey tones reverberate into a brilliantly balanced finish; gentle spirit continues to carry rich vanilla and malt flavours at length. Wait for the late caramel burst. Very impressive.
