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
Daniel,
Love the true corn flavor preserved in the process. You are transported to the harvest. It is hot and simple but with hidden complexity, so add a water drop, study it, and repeat, to progress through the flavor profile.
Brent,
Amazingly smooth! Hints of chocolate and almond on the palate.
David,
Throughly unique and enjoyable. Glad I picked this up. I keep finding myself reaching for this bottle.
Scott,
Sadly this tasting box of Balcones has been the first time I have considered the Bourbon industry to be flooded with fakes ! Each of these tasted like flavored white spirit or moonshine. Lacked body, high alcohol content not the good kind, felt like I was tasting added flavourings vs real infused flavors
Jeremy,
Super interesting. I enjoyed drinking this, but can't rate it higher than a 7/10 because it simply wasn't the first bottle I reached for on any given day. I'm glad it exists in the world, though—Balcones is doing meaningful work, innovating American whiskies.
