For an American whiskey with all the heft and smoke of a single-malt, look no further than Balcones Brimstone. Starting as Balcones True Blue, their cask-strength whisky made from 100% blue corn, sourced from a tribe of Hopi farmers in New Mexico, it is then smoked with sun-dried scrub oak ubiquitous to the area. Truly a unique dram!
Master distiller Chip Tate has this to say:
“Rather than using Scottish peat smoke, this one-of-a-kind whisky is smoked with sun-baked Texas scrub oak using our own secret process. The result is a whisky full of fresh youthful corn and light fruit notes married with a bold smokiness. Whether you like smoky whiskies, or just have a penchant for big, new flavors, Brimstone is sure to be memorable pour. Aromas of masa, Texas camp fire and powdered sugar tempered with an almost salty goodness. Bold yet balanced, Brimstone is yet another Texas first from Balcones.”
