Balcones Texas Single Malt finished in Sauternes casks
Distilled from golden promise barley this single malt was first filled into new oak casks and then transferred to Sauternes wine casks to finish.
Abv: 59.5%
Age: 60 months
Nose: Honey drizzled on melon, corn pops, caramel flavor, pear, and dried apricots. Hints of lemon thyme, plenty of white dessert wine, and something like drambuie at the end. All very sweet and sticky.
Palate: Incredibly sweet with a viscous mouthfeel. Honeyed white wine, well charred oak, grilled peaches and pineapple, green apple skin, freshly ground clove, and sweet oak smoke. The finish is long and lingering with smoke, honey, and cracked black pepper.
