Balcones Whisky Baby Blue

The First legal Texas whisky since Prohibition, this is a highly awarded aged corn whisky. Made from 100% roasted artisanal blue corn, this particular varietal adds a unique nuttiness and freshness to this well-balanced spirit. Aged in new American oak barrels that have been lightly charred so as to not over-oak the whisky but rather accentuate the blue corn's unique flavor qualities. Never any chill filtering or caramel coloring.. This incredibly dense whisky pours a coloring approaching black. The nose is a pungent ode to the earthy qualities of the blue corn from which it is made but the palate yields a bit of sweetness thanks to the subtle influence of wood vanillin. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. (92) Made from 100% roasted Hopi blue corn, the kernels are roasted, distilled twice and briefly aged in small oak barrels this imparts a slightly sweet, nutty richness that is entirely unique.. Pronounced aromas of marzipan, toasted almonds, smoked chilis, dark chocolate, fresh baked bread and baking spices (particularly clove) lead to fresh fruit, floral and sweet corn notes. Flavors of corn meal, unsalted butter and light caramel lead to a medium-sweet, intensely corny/grainy mid-palate. The finish is pleasant and warm.. Best served neat, with a little cool water, or over ice. Liquor
