Balcones Pot Still Bourbon

Texas Spirit, Pot Still Soul: A Big, Bold, and Oily Bourbon Powerhouse

Experience "spectacular stuff" from the heart of Waco, Texas, with Balcones Pot Still Bourbon. Known globally for creating spirits with "big, bold, powerful flavour profiles," this expression is a masterclass in texture and intensity. Distilled in traditional copper pot stills rather than the standard columns used by most bourbon producers, it retains an "oily and unctuous" character that is the hallmark of the Balcones craft distillery.

Built upon a diverse mash bill of blue corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley, this is a bourbon that "certainly fits the bill" for those seeking "rich and expressive" notes. It offers a "sleek and modern" take on America’s native spirit, delivering a level of depth that makes it a "firm favourite" for fans of artisanal distilling.

The Art of the Pot Still: Texture & Complexity

Balcones Pot Still Bourbon is "engineered" for maximum flavour extraction, moving away from traditional bourbon expectations to create something truly unique:

The Four-Grain Mash Bill: By blending "blue corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley," Balcones achieves a multi-layered profile featuring "honey, oak, and new leather."

Traditional Pot Still Distillation: This method ensures the spirit is "oily and unctuous," carrying more of the grain's heavy oils and esters into the final bottle for a "full-bodied" mouthfeel.

Texas Climate Maturation: The extreme Waco heat accelerates the interaction between the spirit and the "charred oak," resulting in a bourbon that is "spectacularly" mature and "packed with modern benefits."

Uncompromising Power: This is a "powerful flavour profile" that holds its own whether sipped neat or used as a "bold statement" in a cocktail.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare to indulge in a "stunning and functional" bourbon that balances sweet corn with earthy spice:

Nose: A direct and inviting aroma of "charred oak and roasted corn," balanced perfectly with "drizzles of honey and caramel."
Palate: Remarkably "oily and unctuous" on the entry. You’ll find bright "Seville orange marmalade and candied nuts," with "earthy oak once again at the core" to provide structure.
Finish: A "lasting peppery spice" that transitions into "dried fruit" and a subtle, evocative "hint of smoke."

Serving Suggestions

The Purist's Pour: Enjoy this bourbon neat to fully appreciate the "oily and unctuous" texture. A single large ice cube can help temper the "peppery spice" and highlight the "caramel" notes.
The Texas Old Fashioned: The "orange marmalade" and "roasted corn" notes make this the "perfect solution" for a classic cocktail with an added layer of Texan "sophistication."
Hearty Pairings: The "earthy oak" and "new leather" notes pair "spectacularly" with smoked brisket, strong blue cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts.
