BalconesTexasRye(700mL)

<p>Absolutely 100% Rye and absolutely a Texan. </p><p>Ten years ago, Balcones was a tiny startup distillery in an old welding shop under a bridge in Waco, Texas. After it was all refurbished and equipped with copper pot stills from Portugal, <em>a new shiny Whisky distillery</em> was born, and the magic could start.</p><p>In addition to a classic Texas Single Malt, and two blue corn Whiskies, Balcones makes a breathtakingly good <em>100% Rye Whisky</em>, made from Elbon Rye from Northwest Texas. In a wonderful magic following traditional recipes and methods, a<em> real champion arises</em>. This very expression is a celebration of the distillery’s 10th anniversary and it’s bottled at 100 proof. It’s aged in new and charred oak barrels <em>under two years</em> in the moody climate of Texas, where temperatures swing from scorching hot to cozy cold in just one day and where barrels breathe at a much faster rate. It’s also diluted with Hill Country spring water and there are no dirty additives and <em>no flavor enhancements</em>. It’s pure and superb. </p>
