Balcones – Texas Single Malt

Hey guys! How’s it going?🙂.

I managed to grab a bottle of a very good whiskey, highly recommend by @whiskydramster and myself too! It’s the Balcones Texas Single Malt whiskey 😉.

I was very surprised by this one and how much it comes close to scotch while still keeping its own unique signature taste 👌🏻🥃 that being said, this really reminds of a good Speyside scotch 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.

Bottled at a rather high 53%, and aged on average 14 to 24 months per batch depending upon what barrels are drawn from, the Balcones 1 Texas Single Malt really shines ✨🥃.

Here is my review:

Nose: Very fruity, overripe fruit. Elderflower, pears, nougat, molasses, butterscotch, pears, cocoa, malt and oak.

Palate: Sweet tannic, dried dark fruit, apricot, fresh hay and tobacco.

Finish: Spicy with toasted cereal.

This is an excellent single malt whiskey from Texas🇺🇸, it’s a rich and full bodied whiskey that can be mistaken for a good Speyside scotch, I mean that in a good way 😉🥃✌🏻️.

Cheers guys! Have a good one!.

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
