Balcones Texas Rye 100 Proof

A Decade of Innovation: The Rich, Chocolatey Powerhouse of Texas Rye

Celebrate a milestone in craft distilling with Balcones Texas Rye 100 Proof. Released to commemorate the distillery's 10th anniversary, this expression is a "bold statement" of Texan ingenuity. Unlike traditional ryes, this is made from a "100% rye" mashbill, featuring a complex blend of 80% raw Elbon grain from north and northwest Texas, alongside crystal, chocolate, and roasted rye varieties.

Bottled at a robust 100 proof and aged in new charred American oak barrels, this is a "wonderfully chocolatey rye" that defies expectations. It offers a "sleek and modern" take on a classic category, delivering a "rich and thick" profile that has quickly become a "firm favourite" for those seeking a deeper, more decadent spirit.

The Art of the Mashbill: 100% Texan Rye

Balcones Texas Rye is "engineered" for maximum flavour, utilizing a unique combination of grains to achieve its signature profile:

• 
  

  Texas Elbon Rye: The "raw Elbon grain" provides a spicy, earthy foundation that is quintessentially Texan.

  
  


• 
  

  Specialty Malts: The inclusion of "crystal, chocolate, and roasted rye" creates a multi-layered complexity, moving beyond simple spice into the territory of "melted dark chocolate" and "coffee."

  
  


• 
  

  100 Proof Strength: Bottled at 50% ABV, the "100 proof" delivery ensures that the "full-bodied" texture and intense flavours remain "unaltered" even when mixed or enjoyed over ice.

  
  


• 
  

  Charred Oak Aging: The "new charred American oak" imparts "dry oak" notes and a "hint of char" that balances the inherent sweetness of the grain.
