#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
