Detailed Description
This version of Balcones Single Malt is made using 100% Golden Promise barley, a type that had once been popular in Scotland for its depth of flavor, but has been all but replaced by less expensive varieties with higher yield. The barley is slowly fermented at low temperatures to extract its inherent richness and deeper flavor. The whisky is then aged in a progression of custom made barrels of different sizes, in this case American oak barrels an average of 9 months, then blended into French oak barrels for up to an additional 13 months, averaging 22 months per bottle.
Balcones Distilling FR.OAK French Oak Single Malt Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: Delightful aroma.
Palate: There is definitely a signature flavor to Balcones whiskies that is present here – pumpernickel raisin bread – in this case a slice that has been spread with melted brown butter. In the background, flavors of warm spice (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg), citrus peel, black pepper and a puff of charcoal smoke come through.
Finish: Long and rich.
