Balcones Baby Blue Pot Distilled Corn Whiskey 750 ml

Balcones Baby Blue is a corn whiskey from the Waco, Texas distillery, made from roasted Hopi blue corn rather than the yellow dent corn most American whiskey relies on. It's distilled in copper pot stills and aged in charred American oak barrels, a combination that gives it a distinct roasted, nutty sweetness not found in standard bourbon. Balcones was Texas's first legal whiskey distillery since Prohibition, and Baby Blue remains one of its signature releases. Expect caramel and toasted corn on the nose, a smooth palate with vanilla, roasted nuts, and light spice, and a warm, clean finish. A genuinely different corn whiskey worth trying beyond the standard bourbon shelf.

How to drink Balcones Baby Blue

Sip it neat to taste the roasted blue-corn character clearly; it also works well in an Old Fashioned if you want its nuttiness against orange and bitters.
