What is Balcones Brimstone Whisky?
Balcones Brimstone Whisky stands out with its unique smoky profile, achieved by smoking the whisky itself rather than the grains. This unconventional Texas spirit pays homage to the Lone Star State's barbecue traditions, using sun-baked scrub oak native to the region to impart its distinctive smoky character.
Why do we love Balcones Brimstone Whisky?
Balcones Brimstone Whisky stands out for its innovative "corn whisky" approach, where Texas scrub oak smoke is applied directly to the corn before fermentation, rather than smoking the finished whisky. This unique process creates a bold, savory profile with notes of campfire, barbecue, and spice that's unlike any traditional scotch or American whiskey, making it a must-try for adventurous cocktail enthusiasts seeking a truly Texan whisky experience.
How do you drink Balcones Brimstone Whisky?
Balcones Brimstone Whisky shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its unique smoky character to take center stage. This bold spirit also excels in smoky variations of classic whiskey cocktails and pairs wonderfully with barbecue or grilled meats, making it an ideal choice for outdoor gatherings on crisp autumn evenings.

Nose: Smoky barbecue and campfire aromas dominate, accompanied by hints of burnt sugar and charred wood. Subtle notes of roasted corn and caramel emerge as the whisky opens up.
Palate: Intense smokiness reminiscent of mesquite and hickory, balanced by sweet corn and toffee flavors. Spicy notes of black pepper and cinnamon add complexity. The texture is oily and full-bodied.
Finish: Long and warming, with persistent smoke and a touch of sweetness. Lingering flavors of smoked meat, dark chocolate, and oak tannins. A slight astringency and peppery heat round out the experience.
