Balcones True Blue Cask Strength Single Barrel Corn Whiskey
131 proof NAS Corn Whiskey Balcones Waco, TX $60–$70 Blue corn; roasted; specific proportion not disclosed
Nose

Toasted marshmallow, honey, grilled corn, and roasted corn character with a hint of wisp smoke and earthy nuttiness.

Palate

Savory with a memorable trigger point, rich caramel, grilled-corn (elote) vibe, sweet entry but with less immediate sweetness than some peers.

Finish

Zesty spice on the tail end with a pronounced command of the mid-to-rear palate; hefty and wide.

Recommended
A roasted blue corn whiskey with commanding mid-to-rear palate presence and a savory-sweet profile anchored by grilled-corn character.
