Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky

Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky is one of the flagship creations from Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas—a distillery internationally acclaimed for its bold, innovative whiskies that proudly showcase Texan terroir. First released in 2009, it was among the earliest American single malts to gain global recognition, helping define the category with its rich, full-bodied style. Made from 100% malted barley and aged in a hot Texas climate, this whisky develops extraordinary depth and intensity in a relatively short time.

In the glass, it displays a deep copper-amber hue. The nose opens with inviting aromas of honey, baked apples, and malty sweetness, layered with toffee, vanilla, and a touch of warm oak. On the palate, it is lush and robust, offering flavors of ripe fruit, roasted nuts, and caramelized sugar, supported by a malty backbone. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of oak spice, cocoa, and dried fruit.

Balcones Texas Single Malt is designed for sipping neat or with just a splash of water to unlock its complexity. It stands apart from Scotch or Irish single malts by embracing a uniquely bold, rich style shaped by Texas’s climate and Balcones’ craft-driven approach. Revered by enthusiasts, it has earned awards worldwide and remains a defining expression of American single malt whisky.
