Brought back from the USA last week. Hard to find, probably got the last two bottles in SFO 😎. Here batch 20-1 with 62%. Rum from Texas? That's quite extraordinary!Nose: nice intense/full-bodied. Spicy-woody, slightly smoky and also fruity-sweet. Reminds clearly of bourbon (Virgin Oak, American whitish!). Delicious maple syrup and honey with molasses and nougat. Slightly hazelnut at the back. Now there's a slight vinegar-wine note as well. On fruit, there's a mix of banana, papaya and cassis with tangerine. Then tobacco, wood and caramel with caraway assert themselves. I like it a lot.Palate: powerful and intense, salty-sour, toasty-woody. Dry and distinctly oak. Not quite as layered as the nose. Molasses, nut, tobacco leaves, bourbon.Very positive.
Rum from Texas, that's so unusual that I have to try it. Perfect, if then just someone stays in the U.S., who also brings this. First Batch 20-1:For me very exciting and tasty, that much is already said. Otherwise hard to pigeonhole, but that's a good thing. On the nose, it seems like a mature Spanish at first, but then I notice a different impact. Maybe it's imagination because of the origin, but I have to think of bourbon!On the palate then full load of flavor, the 62% deliver well and in the short time came a lot of flavor from the (virgin) wood. Crass, what goes in such a short time after all. Overall, not quite as harmonious and the alcohol is definitely present, but with these marginal data may also be. I like!
Alcohol is extremely well integrated for such a young rum. Nice combination of bourbon, pear, young wood,bitter walnut, honey, tobacco, salted caramel and cocoa and some fresh mint and Ceylon cinnamon.
Balcones make excellent whisky. I like their "true blue" blue corn whisky a lot. I tried some of their rum aged stuff too. Now they released the rum itself. Let's see... The nose is sort of closed. I get linoleum. Caramel. Burnt sugar. Not particulairly outspoken. In taste: same flavours. Bitterness. Cocao. Espresso. Lots of wood. Woodspices. No fruit here. Somehow lightness too. Less heavy than you would expect for 60+abv%. Very wooddriven. Slight acidity in the finish (like espresso). Can't really say anything about its spirit. To me this is not overly interesting. Rum for bourbon/whiskydrinkers. No funk whatsoever (which is okay obviously). Not bad, but also nothing special. Almost no rum at all. Revisit: much fruitier
