The second of four single barrel bourbons from Balcones, released as part of their fifth anniversary spectacular. The previous release sold like hot cakes on a cold day, and with darn good reason too – it was incredible. The second verse is same as the first, as they say, because second release is also an utterly mind-blowing Texas straight bourbon from Chip and the Balcones chaps. To celebrate this tremendous milestone there will be a total of 4 single barrel releases from Balcones over the coming months, of which this is the first.

Balcones 5th Anniversary Single Barrel 2nd Release Texas Straight Bourbon Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Complex, extraordinary caramels, green anise and that coffee-edged Toffifee we saw in the 1st Release.

Palate: Quite dry with subtle tobacco notes and rich toffee.

Finish: Creamy and delicious with Toffifee goodness and tobacco leaf rolling on and on.
