Hey guys! How's it going?🙂. . It's the Orthodox Easter weekend and I'm enjoying a 4 day weekend at home, not that I could go anywhere 😄. I managed to grab a bottle of a very good whiskey, highly recommend by @whiskydramster and myself too! It's the Balcones Texas Single Malt whiskey 😉. . I was very surprised by this one and how much it comes close to scotch while still keeping its own unique signature taste 👌🏻🥃 that being said, this really reminds of a good Speyside scotch 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. . Bottled at a rather high 53%, and aged on average 14 to 24 months per batch depending upon what barrels are drawn from, the Balcones 1 Texas Single Malt really shines ✨🥃. . Here is my review:. . Nose: Very fruity, overripe fruit. Elderflower, pears, nougat, molasses, butterscotch, pears, cocoa, malt and oak. . Palate: Sweet tannic, dried dark fruit, apricot, fresh hay and tobacco. . Finish: Spicy with toasted cereal. . This is an excellent single malt whiskey from Texas🇺🇸, it's a rich and full bodied whiskey that can be mistaken for a good Speyside scotch, I mean that in a good way 😉🥃✌🏻️. . Cheers guys! Have a great weekend!. . And to those that are celebrating Easter this week: Happy Easter!🥃✨🥃🐣🥚. . #balcones #balconesdistillery #texas #waco #americanoak #balcones1 #texassinglemaltwhiskey #whisky #whiskey #shotoniphone #shotonsony #instagood #firewaterxo #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #whiskygram #whiskybar #whiskylover #bottle #drinks #whiskylove #cluj #romania #instawhisky #usa #tgif #weekend #weekendvibes #friday #easter (at Cluj-Napoca) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Fn1vlnknn/?igshid=1u2vzdkr28k58

Celebrating National Bourbon Heritage Month with @balconesdistilling 🥃 Bourbon Heritage Month is a time for celebrating the cultural uniqueness of American bourbon and raising a glass to America’s distilling heritage, which dates back to 1964 when Congress recognized bourbon as a distinctive product. Balcones sent us their Texas Pot Still Bourbon. 94 proof, 24+ month maturation, 100% New American Oak Barrel. A solid bourbon that is easy to enjoy. Balcones Distilling, maker of the original Texas whisky, knows a thing or two about preserving tradition. Using a grain to glass approach, Balcones utilizes home-grown ingredients like Texas-grown malted barley and blue corn from the fields of New Mexico, combined with fermentation techniques and customized casks that facilitate aging in the unique Texas climate. Through this, Balcones’ approach is carefully crafted, and the results are rich in flavor. #bourbonheritagemonth #satxrated #balconesdistillery #igtexas #satxblogger #texasbourbon #texaswhiskey https://www.instagram.com/p/CUMCLsisSaR/?utm_medium=tumblr

🇬🇧Hey guys! How's it going?🙂. . It's finally the weekend and for another review. This time we have another nice surprise from Balcones, it's the Texas Rye 100 proof! 😊. . This is a lovely rye whiskey from 2019 master distiller of the year at Icons of Whisky America, Jared Himstedt. Now if you follow what's happening over at the Balcones distillery, you know that they are not your ordinary American whisky makers. I'm planning to write an article about these guys, so stay tuned. . Right so back to the review:. . Nose: Chocolate coated rye, hot cocoa, young oak and orange zest along with a hint of salted caramel, malted grains, and a touch of smoke. So we're off to a delicious start. . Palate: A flavor-rich spicy mouthfeel, prominent cocoa, coffee, orange zest, melted dak chocolate, sweet malt (honey) and a pinch of tobacco. . Finish: Long, dry, with peanutbutter, which ads to the dryness. Cocoa powder, burnt sugar and dark caramel chocolate. . This is a very unusual rye in my book, but a very good unusual, this is excellent whisky 😉. . Have you guys tried this one yet? What did you think about it?🙂. . Cheers guys and have a great weekend!😉 🌵🇺🇸🥃. . #balcones #balconesdistillery #texas #waco #americanoak #balconesrye100 #texassinglemaltwhiskey #whisky #whiskey #shotoniphone #shotonsony #instagood #firewaterxo #scotchwhisky #whiskyporn #whiskygram #whiskybar #whiskylover #bottle #drinks #whiskylove #cluj #romania #instawhisky #usa #tgif #weekend #weekendvibes #friday #summer (at Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, Romania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVy9jsnmAI/?igshid=1ebynz33wd88k

#balconesdistillery #texasbourbon #bluecorn #alkobaron #alcobaronofficial Since its first distillate in 2009, Balcones has become perhaps the biggest name in Texas whiskey, winning golds and silvers at national and international spirits competitions. The grain-to-glass ethos has radiated to other Texas distilleries, as has their deep, pungent, spicy flavor profiles. This one’s made with blue corn and bottled at more than 120 proof. Tasting Notes: Even darker than the Garrison Brothers’ bourbon, it has a nose of classic bourbon vanilla and caramel. On the tongue, it explodes with red licorice and red hots, then transitions to dates dark fruits, and maple syrup, with heavy tannin notes and even a gentle smokiness. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lxmooHqOp/?igshid=1e8sdy4bu1bez
