Balcones Brimstone

The Texas Barbecue in a Glass: A Bold Revolution in Smoke

Experience one of the most provocative and "innovative" spirits in the world of American craft distilling. Balcones Brimstone is a smoky corn whisky that defies tradition; rather than smoking the grain (as is done with peated Scotch), Balcones uses a secret process to "smoke the whisky itself." This "spectacular" technique is exactly what is "creating a buzz around American whisk(e)y at the moment."

Fittingly named, Brimstone is "an incredibly apt name for this barbecue of a dram." It captures a "Texan aroma for a Texan whisky," delivering a "big smoky" profile that is "as tough as it is stylish." With "no pretension here," this whisky is a "bold statement" piece for any collection, offering a "vibrant" and unforgettable sensory experience that tastes like the heart of a Texas cookout.

Innovation & Craft: Smoking the Spirit

Brimstone is "engineered" for those who crave "big, bold, powerful flavour profiles" without the medicinal notes of traditional peat:

The Secret Smoking Process: By "smoking the spirit itself" after distillation using sun-baked Texas scrub oak, Balcones creates a "rich and thick" smoke profile that is entirely unique to the Lone Star State.

100% Blue Corn Foundation: Built on a base of roasted Hopi blue corn, the whisky maintains an "oily and unctuous" texture that balances the "intense smoke."

Authentic Texas Terroir: Crafted in Waco, the spirit interacts deeply with the wood and smoke, resulting in a "sophisticated charm" that feels like a "personalized oasis" for smoke lovers.

Award-Winning Heritage: This innovative approach has made Brimstone a "firm favourite" among critics who appreciate "longevity and performance" in craft spirits.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare for a "stunning and functional" explosion of savory and sweet notes:

Nose: A true "Texas aroma." Expect heavy "barbecue, steaks, and brown sugar," balanced by "raisins and honey roast pork." It is an evocative scent that feels like "an inviting" summer evening.
Palate: Remarkable balance; it is "peppery and sweet in equal quantities." You will find "herbal undertones" perfectly contrasted by unmistakable "BBQ sauce overtones."
Finish: The experience concludes with a "spiced, medium finish" that tastes like "pepper-rubbed steak with a little charcoal too!"
Overall: "What's not to like?" This is a "luscious" and "unapologetic" whisky that serves as a "modern masterpiece" of smoke.
