We are very pleased to announce that we have once again been nominated for “Best Craft Whiskey Distillery” by the good folks at USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards! While being chosen to compete in this race is an honor we must now ask for your help to get us across the finish line.  The winner is chosen entirely by reader votes, and it's thanks to you that we managed to clutch the title in 2016. We can't thank you enough for that; it was a momentous occasion for us at the distillery.

It's almost hard to believe that another year has passed. In that time, we've opened the doors to our new distillery for tours and tastings, released multiple new whiskies, grown to over 30 employees, and just recently we installed two more pot stills, doubling our production capacity. It's been an incredible year for us, and we hope that it shows in our efforts to connect to our community, and most importantly in our whisky.

That humble distillery under the bridge has truly grown up, but we've remained true to ourselves as ever, and continue to find new inspirations in our spirits every day. If you haven't come to see us recently, we respectfully invite you join us for an intimate tour and tasting at our new location in downtown Waco and discover what we're all about.

We hope that you'll vote for us as the Best Craft Whiskey Distillery. We've worked long and hard to make Balcones into what it is today and a big part of what makes it all worthwhile is the support and love we receive on a constant basis from you, our fans. Show your support for Balcones by clicking the link below and voting for us. The competition lasts until Monday, September 11th and you can vote every day until then. Make sure to share your vote with everyone by using the tag #VOTEBALCONES
