Balcones Mirador Texas Single Malt / 53% / 0.75l

Balcones Distillery was founded in 2008 in Waco, Texas. Its founder, Chip Tate, not only designed the still himself, but welded it himself.

Tate achieved a huge success, of which he soon fell victim - to meet the growing demand, he supported himself with capital from the company PE Investors from Oklahoma in exchange for a controlling stake. The cooperation of the visionary with capital quickly turned into an open conflict, which the visionary lost (a court ruling banned him from being near the distillery and contact with employees). Currently, under the Balcones brand we find rye, corn, bourbon and single malt whiskey. Balcones Mirador is a single malt whiskey aged exclusively in refill barrels. Our bottle comes from a batch released in January 2022 (Batch # MIR 22-1) and contains whiskey aged for at least 43 months.

Aroma: fruity, pears, apples, peaches, banana cake, vanilla, honey, cinnamon, allspice, notes of hay and sandalwood.

Palate: honeyed breakfast cereal, vanilla, toffee, greengages, peaches, orange peel, white pepper, nutmeg and lemongrass.

Finish: medium long, with notes of summer fruits, honey, toffee, white pepper, a touch of ginger and oak.
