Detailed Description
Balcones’ True Blue whiskies are made entirely out of roasted blue corn. That’s unusual on two fronts: First, few corn whiskeys (not that there are all that many on the market to begin with) are made from a mash bill of 100% corn. And second, virtually all of the corn used in American distilling is commodity dent corn, the stuff grown on 1,000-acre farms in the Midwest. Used to make high fructose corn syrup, cheap tortilla chips, plastics, and fuel ethanol, let’s just say that dent corn is not known for its remarkable culinary properties.
