Balcones Texas Single Malt

Sweet sugary, syrupy smell. Deceptively easy to sip with a high proof.

Buttery, vanilla nose; sweet toffee palate with licorice after taste.

Nose rich and raising with a hint of chocolate and fig. Palate of caramel and sticks. Finish smooth, surprisingly light for proof.

Round butterscotch caramel on the nose, very refined and even with a touch of black licorice. Sweet, ripe, dark brandy and bourbon. The higher proof is evident, but oh so delicious. Drink this with a chukkar cherry candy.

Almost tastes like a sharp bourbon. Very sweet for a single malt. Lovely sipping whisky. Reminds me of Texas.

Nose of maple. Wham! A big up-front punch of bitter herbs easing into an explosive burn. Round and lingering.

Caramel & fruity on nose; more scotch-like; for 106 proof the heat is restrained; black pepper & darker spice notes through the mid-palate. Grassy mint on the finish. Finicky, not pleasant note in the middle.

Almost a sour cherry smell coupled with maple. The flavor is a bit fuel-y mixed with caramel.
