Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky

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. 46% abv tasting notes: 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. Winemaker notes: baby blue is the first blue corn whiskey made in texas. It marries refined complexity with the freshness and verve of a traditional corn whiskey. Technical notes: (92º) m
