Product description
Balcones Distillery is a 2008 investment by Chip Tate, a whisky visionary who not only designed the still himself, but also welded it himself.
The distillery's success forced it to seek capital for expansion, which was provided by the Oklahoma-based PE Investors in exchange for a controlling stake. And here began the battle between vision and capital, from which the latter emerged victorious. By court order, the founder of Balcones is not allowed to appear near the distillery or talk to employees. The company experiments with various mash formulas. The result of one of them is Rumble, a spirit classified as Spirit Specialty, distilled from a mash consisting of wild honey, figs and brown sugar and aged in barrels of various capacities for an unspecified period of time.
Aroma: flowery orchard, honey, vanilla, plums, grapes, nectarines, a trace of eucalyptus, notes of tobacco and leather.
Taste: fruit cocktail, juicy plums, fig jam, kiwi, grapefruit, honey, white chocolate, traces of mint and anise.
Finish: medium long, fruit salad, honey, vanilla and light herbal notes.
