Balcones Texas Single Malt
Country: USA
Region: Texas
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 51%
Score: 88 Points
Yes, it’s a Texas single malt from 100% malted barley, but with with a Texas accent. The nose has a touch of toasted mesquite wood, baked pears and apples, caramel, and touches of red pepper and maltiness. The taste is chewy and spicy with chili powder, black pepper, caramel cola, vanilla, and a hint of lemon zest. The finish is long and spicy with notes of black pepper, vanilla, and a hint of brown sugar.
