Pure Azul Whiskey from One-Star State.
Balcones Distillery is a small establishment with big ideas and an array of awards. They are leading a small Spirit revolution from Waco, Texas, where rivers of top-notch hooch are flowing: rugged Bourbons and delicious Single Malts that are bound to redefine what an American Whiskey can be.
One of their masterpieces is a wonderful True Blue - made from blue corn, no relation to "Heisenberg's ice." Blue Corn is also known as Rio Grande Blue and it grows in Mexico and the Southwestern US. It has a sweet flavor and is usually used to make tortillas. It's one of the reasons we can talk about terroir with this azure Whisky. It's a truly powerful dram, diluted town to 100 proof and it presents us with a complex and soft character, perfect both straight or with a splash of water.

Rye Whiskey is made from mash that is at least 51 per cent rye. The grain gives rye Whiskey its spicy, sometimes peppery, and bitter flavour. Rye was a big seller before Prohibition. After decades in obscurity, it’s fashionable again. George Washington distilled rye Whiskey at Mount Vernon.

Ratings & Reviews
Todd,
Nice. I usually prefer Scotch, but I could get comfortable with True Blue.
Anthony,
nose: pot pourri, sweetness, banana bread, freshly made chocolate chip cookie dough (no joke), vanilla ice cream, cake, rich buttery baked goods, some big red cinnamon, really really nice balance
palate:soft mouthfeel, banana bread, some spiced cake, burnt sugar
finish: the cookie dough comes through, great balance of spice, sweet, long finish, get some banana bread, some burnt sugar, maybe a little salt but only in the balance of the cookie dough
overall: this is truly delicious. its almost everything the st. georges tries to be but isnt. lots of great depth, spice and sweet and incredible flavors. its like taking childhood baking smells and putting them into 100 proof whiskey
