Smell
The nose immediately develops the characteristic Balcones pepper, which is combined with the aroma of grilled corn. Notes of burnt wood and sawdust follow, adding a smoky, woody depth. A hint of vanilla and brown sugar brings a subtle sweetness into play, while the smell of BBQ ribs and steak dry rub mingle to create a savoury, spicy profile.
Taste
Am Gaumen präsentiert sich der Balcones Brimstone als intensiv und sehr ölig, mit einer kräftigen Pfeffernote. Der kalte, frische Rauch bietet eine komplexe Rauchnuance, die sich mit getrockneter Petersilie und Chili zu einer faszinierenden Geschmackskombination vereint. Intensiv!
Finish
The finish of the Balcones Brimstone is long and leaves a lasting grilled sausage note, accompanied by pepper and heather. A hint of black tea rounds off the finish.
Thoughts
The Balcones Brimstone is a whisky that takes you on a grand harbour cruise, filled with a large ladle from a colourful plate. If it is characterised by anything, it is its unusual and unique smoky note, which makes it typically Balcones. A fascinating experience for anyone looking for something really special.
