Balcones Single Malt Whisky

Balcones Distilling, founded in 2008 in Waco, Texas, stands as the state's first post-Prohibition whiskey distillery. Established by Chip Tate and Jared Himstedt, the distillery pioneered the Texas whiskey movement and has become one of the largest craft distilleries in the Lone Star State. Renowned for its innovative approach and commitment to Texas terroir, Balcones uses local ingredients including distinctive blue corn for its flagship Baby Blue Corn Whiskey. Their diverse core range features the award-winning Texas Single Malt, the uniquely smoked Brimstone, and robust bourbon expressions. The distillery leverages Texas's extreme climate for accelerated maturation, creating bold, complex spirits that have garnered international acclaim and established Texas as a legitimate whiskey-producing region.
