Balcones Texas 1 Single Malt Whiskey (50ml)

Balcones Texas 1 Single Malt Whiskey hails from the heart of Texas, where the boldness of the landscape shapes its character. This American single malt combines traditional distilling methods with a Texas twist, using culinary-grade grains and unique copper pot stills that are among the tallest in the world. The result is a rich, full-bodied whiskey with a profile that pushes boundaries while respecting tradition. The Texas climate, with its wild daily temperature swings, adds another layer of complexity to the maturation process, helping to create a whiskey that’s as distinctive as the state itself.

The tasting experience begins with a nose rich in ripe, buttered stone fruit, banana, and pears, accompanied by subtle hints of honey and rose water with citrus accents. On the palate, it offers a silky, full-bodied texture, where lightly toasted bread with fresh butter and marmalade mingle with layers of honey and toasted malt. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of burnt sugar and toasted bread that evolve into a deep, woody richness, balanced by a touch of acidity.

Texas 1 is the product of extended fermentation and a custom maturation process in new oak barrels with varying toast and char profiles. These meticulous steps help coax out the nuanced flavors that make this whiskey stand out. Its 53% ABV delivers a strong but smooth drink, perfect for sipping on its own or paired with food. Balcones Texas 1 Single Malt is a true testament to the pioneering spirit of Texas, blending tradition with innovation to create a whiskey that leads the American Single Malt category.
