For the price this is a very good Texas whiskey. Picked it up on my travels through Arkansas and was not disappointed. Rich caramel color with bold flavor.

Jeffrey, Feb 24, 2021

Strong bold flavors. Very enjoyable.

Joey, Feb 12, 2021

One note sweet

Bob, Feb 3, 2021

This is a very good though not great bourbon in my opinion. However, I will try other varieties from this company in the future. For the price, it's a decent offering.

This is the second bottle I’ve had from Balcones and I’ve loved them both. It definitely lets you know the corn is there.

Gabe, Jan 13, 2021

Native Texan here in the Land of Entrapment (NM) just sipping first glass neat and love the big time heat. Very complex and robust.

Ira, Dec 29, 2020

An affordable delight. Far more sippable than whiskeys I've paid 2x as much for. Long corn and molasses flavor and finish.

Dave, Dec 26, 2020

Little too much burn on the end for my liking

Robert, Dec 24, 2020

Wonderfully inviting nose. Sweet with a slight smoke. Taste is excellent. Corn and caramel come through first with a touch of smokiness and finishes a bit spicy. Balcones is changing the bourbon game.

Nathan, Dec 1, 2020

Real smooth. Great value too.

James, Nov 3, 2020

Balcones' unique take on a bourbon. If you're looking for traditional bourbon flavors, you won't really find them here. But is rich and flavorful.

Benjamin, Oct 28, 2020

Interesting flavor, heavy on the corn, a bit oily on the palate. Not my favorite but not bad either.

Johnathan, Aug 30, 2020

Unique bourbon. Savory/meaty flavor.

Todd, Aug 17, 2020

I really enjoyed this one. It has a great floral nose and a kick in the front, but it smooths out and finishes a little sweet. I will buy again.

MIKE, Aug 16, 2020

Lots of flavor, in fact too many flavors that don't fit perfectly together for me. If you like something bold and different, try this one.

Rusty, Aug 12, 2020

Not as smoky as I hoped. Hot at first but nice finish.

STEVE, Aug 11, 2020

Delicious, Balcones' Texas take on bourbon flavor punches through the alcohol, best value of Balcones whiskey offerings.

Paul, Aug 1, 2020

Wasn't a fan of this one

Frank, Jun 25, 2020

Spicy, very unique flavor.

Rusty, Jun 23, 2020

Not delicious, has a distinct metallic aftertaste.

Jonathon, Jun 22, 2020

This has quickly become my families favorite bourbon. Smooth but full flavor. Loved it so much, i bought a bottle for my father father's day, so essentially I put my reputation on it.

Chris, Jun 16, 2020

Really good, although it took awhile to adapt to the unique flavor. I consistently get a flavor on the front palette of green grapes. Funky and delicious

Clifford, May 28, 2020

Reading other reviews, wasn't sure when I ordered it how I would feel. This really fits into that love it or hate it category in my mind. Yes, I love it. And, as I usually say, great neat over my soapstone cubes to chill a little.

David, May 12, 2020

A little too smoky and not a great finish

David, May 7, 2020

Between this and Balcones Baby Blue, get this. While it has a unique taste, it is way easier to come back to after that first sip than Baby Blue, and almost $10 cheaper.

Isak, Apr 23, 2020

Starts off with a nice sweet corn note that turns into a Texas HOT spicy pepper. Finishes smooth & spicy. Very interesting, definitely stands out from other bourbons with its unique flavor profile. All in all, this is a damn good bourbon, and at $30 a pop, it’s an absolute steal.

Alex, Apr 10, 2020

Spicy, smoky, corn with a long sweet finish.

Robert, Mar 27, 2020

Smooth, smoked and charred notes with sweet caramel, cinnamon and a bit of heat on the finish.

guest, Mar 25, 2020

If you’ve ever eaten a vanilla flavored coffee bean you will know what I mean when I say, “there is coffee in there no matter what the spiral says.” One of my favorite bourbons to sip, neat or rocks.

Ara, Mar 24, 2020

Sweet smoky corn with a long sweet finish.

Bryan, Mar 22, 2020

Big bold flavors! Love it!

Elizabeth, Feb 6, 2020

This really has a peppery bite to it. It's not bad, just unexpected that it would be the most forward thing in the flavor profile.

Charlie, Jan 28, 2020

Bas

Charlie, Jan 28, 2020

Got a bad taste dent like at all m.

Jeff, Jan 25, 2020

This is a wonderful whiskey with deep flavors. I was really impressed with the taste and quality considering it's price. I tried another Balcones in a tasting kit and this one was not as intense or deep but was still very satisfying

Aaron, Jan 22, 2020

This had a great flavor, but was too hot on the palate for my liking. I prefer a more subtle heat, but this was right up in your face. If you're a fan of that, then this bourbon is for you....just not for me.

Adam, Jan 21, 2020

At this price level I don't know why it's not everyone's well brand. Exceptionally smooth and very sweet. I wouldn't say that this is a complex bourbon, but it's definitely a must have in my cabinet for cocktails and the occasional neat pour.

Don, Dec 21, 2019

Not my taste....

guest, Nov 5, 2019

Very smooth. The nose is not harsh at all. The flavor is smooth up front with a bit of spice at the end. Not quite as good as Garrison Brothers but it’s less than half the price. This will be a regular at my house.

Vincent, Oct 29, 2019

Corn is heavy on the nose and the mouthfeel; tastes like a young Bourbon. Not my favorite; will get used in cocktails.

Mike, Oct 3, 2019

Wonderful aroma, extremely smooth- my wife's uncle and I tried it together and he was as impressed as I was.

Katie, Sep 23, 2019

The corn taste was too strong for my taste. It tastes like it’s trying to be sweet, but comes up short. The flavor is just not for me.

bill, Sep 6, 2019

This is freaking dangerous stuff. An oaky taste but smooth finish. You are drinking along and probably more than you should because it is so smooth. Seriously, everybody who tried it, said it was one of the more smooth whiskey's they've had. highly recommend it.

Eric, Sep 6, 2019

heavy char and burnt nickels. this is only my second texas bourbon, but i'm starting to think that it's just not my thing.

guest, Aug 10, 2019

Amazing bourbon. Mouthfeel is like that of a rich highland scotch. Robust aroma of caramel and corn and oak. Stewed stonefruit in the palate... apricot, cherry, honey, brown sugar. Rich leathery oak. Finish is all cacao nibs, a little coconut, and some sea salt.

Christopher, Jul 20, 2019

Strong taste, not to my liking

Gary, Jul 13, 2019

Chocolate covered cherries on the nose. Great, single barrel chew, almost frontier style. Long, great finish of tobacco and leather. A very underestimated bourbon. Dive in!

Jonathan, Jul 9, 2019

Really solid value Bourbon for the price. Some rounded cherry and chocolate notes. A perfect boulevardier cocktail base!

Kevin, Jun 27, 2019

So sweet, I get hard candy and smooth. Well rounded. Priced very nice and this could be a go to daily for me, one of my favored bourbons I have tried so far for the price.
