Made from roasted blue corn rather than the yellow corn used in most American whiskey, it has a rounded, nutty character with butter, vanilla and gentle spice. It is a distinctive American whiskey that works as an easy-drinking introduction to Texan craft distilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalcones Distilling was founded in 2008 in Waco, Texas, and began life in a former welding shop. The distillery presents itself as a pioneer of Texas whiskey, with the first whisky legally distilled in Texas since Prohibition, and it makes bold, distinctly Texan spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby Blue is distilled from roasted blue corn, using atole, a blue corn meal from the Hopi, in copper pot stills. The spirit then spends a short time maturing in oak, which adds colour and some complexity while keeping the fresh, youthful corn character that defines the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butter, kettle corn and vanilla, with toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg and fresh bread, plus hints of honey and coffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical and stone fruit alongside brown sugar and sweet tea with lemon, with a touch of smoked chilli and a round, nutty texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long and warming, with late cinnamon, leather and a little mint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to enjoy it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby Blue is pleasant neat in a tumbler, and a few drops of water open up the sweeter corn notes.
