Balcones Brimstone Smoked Whisky
Balcones Brimstone Smoked Whisky
Balcones Brimstone Smoked Whisky is the Waco corn whisky built by smoking the spirit, not the grain. The mash is 100% Hopi blue corn. After the copper pot stills, Balcones runs sun-baked Texas scrub oak smoke through the new distillate, which lays campfire and barbecue smoke over fresh corn and fruit. It then ages in oak. Brimstone is a year-round Balcones whisky.
Corn, brown sugar, chili, graham cracker, and heavy barbecue smoke are the notes that repeat, with stone fruit and a little pipe tobacco underneath. The Whiskey Wash found roasted corn, coffee, cocoa, and steak rub, and called the finish extraordinarily long. The distillery’s own card ends drier: herbal mint, a mineral edge, then the smoke comes back. The mouthfeel is oily and intense.
