Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky 70cl

Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky

A Texan Original: The World's First Blue Corn Whisky

Experience a true pioneer in the world of craft spirits with Balcones Baby Blue. This isn't just a standout bottle; it is "the first Texan whisky" and, remarkably, the "first whisky to be distilled from blue corn" (specifically, roasted Hopi Blue Corn).

While it was initially noted for being "wonderful, though very 'different,'" it has since earned its place as a "firm favourite" among enthusiasts and critics alike. Crafted at the award-winning Balcones craft distillery, Baby Blue captures the essence of the Southwest, offering a rich, oily, and completely unique profile that separates it from traditional bourbons or corn whiskies.

The Spirit of the Southwest: Craft & Character

Balcones Baby Blue is celebrated for its artisanal approach and the distinctive characteristics of its base grain:

• 
  

  Pioneering Mash Bill: By using 100% blue corn, Balcones creates a spirit with more depth and nuttiness than standard yellow corn whiskies.

  
  


• 
  

  Big Flavours, Small Batches: Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, this whisky retains a "rich, thick" texture that coats the palate and delivers a concentrated flavor profile.

  
  


• 
  

  Texas Terroir: The intense Texas climate accelerates the maturation process, allowing the spirit to interact deeply with the oak, resulting in "toasted oak" notes and a sophisticated complexity.
