About this bottle
Balcones Texas Rye Cask Strength Single Barrel Collection #20270 is a straight rye whiskey from Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas, drawn from a single cask and bottled at full barrel proof with no dilution. Balcones builds its rye mash from 100% raw Texas rye grain, distilled on copper pot stills and matured in new charred oak. Single barrel bottlings like this one carry more variation and intensity than a blended batch, typically running toasted oak and warm baking spice through the nose, with peppery rye grain, caramel, and a touch of coffee on the palate that carries into a long, spice-driven finish. It's a pour for rye drinkers who want the barrel speaking for itself.
How to drink Balcones Texas Rye Cask Strength Single Barrel
Take it neat first, in a rocks glass, to catch it at full proof before deciding whether water suits it. A few drops opens up the spice without flattening the oak — good practice with any cask strength rye before building an Old Fashioned around it.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to drink a cask strength rye like this?
Try it neat first in a rocks or Glencairn glass — cask strength whiskies are bottled undiluted, so a few drops of water can open the aromatics if the proof feels hot. Store the bottle upright, away from light and heat, once it's opened.
Does Balcones Texas Rye work in cocktails?
Its high proof and peppery rye character hold up well in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where it won't get lost against sugar and bitters — though many drinkers save single barrel bottlings like this one for sipping neat.
What's the mash bill in Balcones Texas Rye?
It's made from 100% raw Texas rye grain, distilled on copper pot stills at Balcones' Waco distillery.
Where is Balcones located?
Balcones Distilling is based in Waco, Texas, founded in 2008 as one of the state's pioneering craft whiskey producers.
