Before our whiskies are ready to bottle, we must immerse ourselves in the most rewarding step of our craft: blending. Not to be confused with blended whisky, blending is the art of selecting aged casks and combining them to create a cohesive and consistent product. Our distillers personally smell and taste every barrel of Balcones before bottling to ensure the quality and flavor that our fans have come to expect. These are authentic craft whiskies, and never combined with artificial coloring or flavoring. Everything made at Balcones is always non-chill filtered, which preserves the rich oils and esters straight out of the cask for pure, unadulterated Texas whisky
