All Whisky reviews

I've been wanting to track this particular whiskey down for a while now. I'm a sucker anytime a distillery experiments with ingredients that stray from the norm. This Balcones is made from 100% Texas…

This bottle was re-gifted to me by my aunt, and I was pretty excited to try it, knowing absolutely nothing about it. Turns out is an American blended whiskey finished in California wine casks.Nose: Uh…
