OUR WHISKIES
Every bottle of Balcones is crafted in conversation with the natural world and our uniquely intense climate in Waco, Texas. Its scorching highs, frigid lows and unpredictable temperature swings lead us to produce deep and bright whisky intentionally crafted with the rhythms of Texas.
lineageTexas Single Malt Whisky
Lineage is the distillation of centuries-old traditions and our modern take on American Single Malt Whisky. Featuring Texas-grown and malted barley aged in new and used oak barrels alongside Scottish Golden Promise malted barley, we honor the lessons of single malt's past and move them forward into new territory.
texas 1Single Malt Whisky
When we created Texas 1, we didn't set out to start a movement. We just wanted to pioneer a new way to distill the spirit we loved while taking cues from the Texas climate. We started with a traditional single malt approach to our process and ingredients but with a more virgin oak-forward profile to bring a new perspective to what is now known as American Single Malt Whisky.
baby blueStraight corn whisky
The first Texas whisky on the market since Prohibition, Baby Blue is a pure expression of our distinct ingredients and flavors. It is crafted using blue corn, which lends new sophistication to the corn whisky tradition through its rich and oily maize while preserving the freshness and verve of classic American distilling. Intentionally youthful, Baby Blue showcases the unlimited potential of Texas whisky. A true Texas original.
texas rye100% Straight Rye Whisky
When our Rye hit four years old, we were pleasantly surprised by the density and clarity this benchmark revealed, with darker chocolates, more acidic dried fruits and a refreshing solvency.
brimstoneSmoked Whisky
Full of fresh-tasting, youthful corn and light fruit notes mingled with rich smokiness, Brimstone is a nuanced and rewarding pour for fans of smoky whiskies and adventurous drinkers who appreciate big, unexpected flavors and the conversations they inspire. Smoked with sunbaked Texas scrub oak using our secret process, this whisky is thoughtfully crafted to reveal new layers of flavor in each sip.
catalejaTEXAS SINGLE MALT WHISKY
The culmination of everything we've learned in our years of distilling, and a signal of how far we hope to stretch ourselves going forward. As a symbol of our offering to the makers who came before us and whose inspiration roused us to carve our own path, Cataleja Texas Single Malt is our most complex American Single Malt to date.
mirador eclipseTEXAS SINGLE MALT WHISKY
For this release, we substituted our standard ale yeast for two new strains of yeast: a red wine and rosé yeast alongside our house malt whisky yeast. This process yielded notes of soft, blush red berry and fruits-of-the-forest that our single malts don't typically showcase.
A PROCESS THAT PARTNERS WITH THE LAND
We craft inventive whisky in the heart of Texas. Our unique partnership with our state's volatile climate allows us to create rich whiskies and reimagine the traditional processes that inspired us from the start.
