Description

At Balcones, our processes and techniques are constantly evolving. When our original Texas Rye hit four years old, we were pleasantly surprised by the density and clarity this benchmark revealed, with darker chocolates, more acidic dried fruits and a refreshing solvency. We've become so familiar with the dance between our whisky and the intense Texas environment that new plateaus of elegance and balance in our spirits are much appreciated and hard-won. When you encounter it, it's a rare and beautiful thing to be celebrated and shared.

Our Texas Rye Bottled in Bond is a finely honed expression of Texas rye. Distilled from a 100% rye mash bill using a carefully considered combination of 91% raw Texas Elbon rye and specialty German Cara rye, chocolate and roasted rye, the ingredients are all milled, mashed, fermented, distilled and matured on-site in Waco. Upon its release in 2023, this unique rye whisky was the only whisky on the market with a 100% rye mash bill made in 100% copper pot stills.

This approach—alongside our extended fermentation, dedication to double-batch copper pot still distillation, meticulous blending process and diligent attention to detail at every step—has led to this celebrated, award-winning rye whisky.

Tasting notes

Nose: Texas Rye Bottled in Bond balances spruce-tip tea, candied fennel and gingersnaps before leading to cooling notes of mint chip ice cream and raspberry glaze.

Palate: Dusty notes of graham cracker crust, cardamom and cedar chest fold before well-articulated notes of carrot frond and dark chocolate espresso bean. Nutella and apricot preserve on rye toast linger for the long and dry finale.
