Founded in 2008 in a former welding shop under a Waco bridge, Balcones Distilling was built from the ground up by passionate artisans with custom-made copper stills. They pioneered the modern Texas whisky movement, utilizing local ingredients and the intense, unpredictable Texas climate to accelerate aging and produce bold, complex spirits.
Crafted at Balcones Distillery & rickhouse in Waco, Texas, this whisky is made from 100% roasted artisanal Hopi blue corn. It is meticulously distilled in traditional copper pot stills to preserve the deep, rich oiliness of the unique grain.
