About Balcones Texas 1 Single Malt Use Code 27861
Balcones Texas 1 is an award-winning American Single Malt Whisky crafted in Waco, Texas, at 53% ABV. This non-chill-filtered expression uses 100% Scottish Golden Promise malted barley and is aged for 4 years in new, customized American oak barrels, creating a bold and complex spirit. What sets Texas 1 apart is its innovative approach to maturation—the intense Texas climate accelerates the aging process, delivering deep flavors in a shorter timeframe than traditional Scotch whisky. The whisky is known for its explosive flavor profile with sweet, fruity, and woody characteristics. Texas 1 appeals to adventurous whisky drinkers and those seeking distinctive American single malts that challenge conventional whisky traditions. Compared to its sibling Lineage (aged 3 years, 47% ABV, mixed oak), Texas 1 offers higher proof and more aggressive oak influence.
