Pure Azul Whisky 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 flavor. 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
Jason,
Love the caramel corn nose. The flavor is burnt toffee with a long finish. Good, but the flavor is very different.
Mark,
This was my first try of Balcones,very much liked the True Blue. I tend to like the higher proof.
Thomas,
this was an assault on my palate. Along with the other balcones. Would NEVER recommend. So glad i got them in a taster and did not buy the bottles.
Jeremy,
Wow! I love Balcones and this was the one I hadn’t tried. It did not disappoint!!! For an over-proof it is remarkably smooth. Sweet and tasty on the front with a smooth finish. Love it.
Victor,
