Balcones Baby Blue Texas Whiskey (750mL)

Balcones Baby Blue is the first legal Texas whisky since Prohibition.  Made from 100% roasted artisanal blue corn, this particular varietal adds a unique nuttiness and freshness to this well-balanced spirit.   Aged in new American oak barrels that have been lightly charred so as to not over-oak the whisky but rather accentuate the blue corn’s unique flavor qualities.  Never any chill filtering or caramel coloring.
