Astoria Whiskey Society is proud to announce our September Tasting with Balcones Head Distiller, Chip Tate. Chip is considered by many to be one of the most significant and unique small craft distillers. A trailblazer in the field of whiskey, Chip has brought the Waco, Texas distillery to the forefront of the craft distilling movement. Balcones is one of the most highly awarded distilleries around. In 2012 they were named World Whiskey Distillery of the Year and the U.S. Craft Distillery of the Year at the inaugural Wizards of Whisky competition. Whisky Magazine also named it the U.S. craft distillery of the year. The whiskies themselves have also raked in the accolades including a double gold for Baby Blue at the San Francisco World Wine & Spirits Competition and a double gold for their Texas Single Malt at the 2011 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition.

Come join the Astoria Whiskey Society and Chip Tate for an exciting look into one of the most talked about distilleries around. Chip will guide us through a tasting of the Balcones whiskey portfolio and give us insight into what makes this one of the most exciting and cutting-edge craft distilleries in the country.
