Product description

Product description
Balcones Texas Single Malt is one of the few single malts from the USA. There, the specifications for Single Malt are less strict than for its Scottish counterparts. It may be matured for less than three years and may also contain grains other than barley. Pot Stills are also not primarily used; American whisky is often distilled continuously on patent or column stills. At Balcones, however, a conscious decision was made to have Pot Stills built by the well-known Scottish manufacturer Forsyths.

SM 21-2 - 5.25.22 -verkostet über einen Zeitraum 8 Monaten.
Im Verlauf samtiger, runder und weniger würzig werdend.
Nach Entkorkung: Neat: etwas Klebstoff, viel Dunkelfrucht, Karamel, getoastete Fässer mit etwas Kaffee. Sehr Würzig, intensiv. Mit ca. 48% bourbonähnlicher, gut, aber überpreist wirkend - Rum- und Sherrytöne mit Zimt+Nelke, mittellanger Abgang, nicht in die Kehle ziehend
Nach 4 Monaten im Vergleich zum Straight Bourbon von Balcones sehr eindrucksvoll und neat voller, komplexer Genuss: viel Zimt und Kaffee, Creme brulee, Tabac, Leder, Dunkelfrucht, Zartbitterschoko mit Eichenherbheit. Mit 20 gtt Nase deutlich schwächer, am Gaumen runder und süsser-süffiger. Schlussdram: mit 5gtt sehr gut, mit 25gtt noch besser: N 23, T 23, sanftere Würze, schöne Entwicklung, F 21,5, B 22,5
4,4 Sterne
