Tasting Notes

SBC #33 Balcones Blue Corn Barrel Proof - This barrel was made up of different barrels that were married into a barrel that previously held Buffalo Trace Bourbon

Nose: Oak | Vanilla | Corn | Twinge of brown sugar | Classic scents that aren’t the corn forward blast you’d expect

SBC #34 Balcones Rye Barrel Proof - This rye was aged in new American oak with a toast profile that often exhibits and imparts ‘heavy smoke’

Nose: Roasted malt | Syrup | Baking chocolate | Hint of mint

Palate: Heavy chocolate malt | Baking chocolate | Spicy Mexican chocolate | A chocolate lovers delight

Finish: Chocolate malt | Chocolate syrup | Hint of oak | Lingering warming rye spice

SBC #35 Balcones Single Malt Barrel Proof - This distillation was the first run after a Peated Malt run. It was aged in a used European oak cask (before this malt it previously held malt, and before that Balcones Rum)

Palate: Malt | Oak | Light caramel | Heavy baking spice | Nice mouthfeel

Finish: Oak | Light leather | Hints of malt | Simmering heat
