Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas is known for big, bold, rich whiskies born in the Texas heat. But when we went to Waco, we wanted to shine a light on a different side of this Texas pioneer. What would it look like to create a delicate and elegant whiskey at a distillery best known for intense and powerful spirits? That’s what we wanted to find out. We collaborated closely with the Balcones team to create this unique release.

This single malt is a marriage of five and a half casks that come together to create a soft, fruit-forward, and elegant Texas single malt that still embodies the distinctive flavor and mouthfeel we associate with Balcones. Made from 100% malted barley, this unique marriage includes whiskey that was aged in European oak cask, an ex-bourbon barrel, and in ex-apple brandy casks. After marriage, we proofed the whiskey down slightly, allowing the flavors to meld and integrate. It has notes of fresh apple, soft oak, dry spice, and a very long finish.

Excellent build quality and thick chrome, strong threaded screw
Color: Silver
I purchased this as a gift for a friend that had problems with wine corks being broken and left inside the bottle. The intention was to have this longer tapered screw extend all the way beyond the bottom of the cork to pull out the entire cork without leaving pieces inside the bottle. One detail that is missing from the instructions is the secret to how a wine cork remover must be used to insure success. The tapered screw must be twisted many turns, which will raise the two lever arms directly upwards away from the bottle. It is critical that you keep turning the screw and remove the metal or paper seal that is on the outside of the bottle before you stop turning. By looking at the bottom of the cork inside the bottle, you can watch the end of the tapered screw appear as it is turned deep inside the cork, beyond the bottom of the cork. Once you have visual verification that the screw is all the way in, notice the appearance of the TOP of the screw outside the cork. You will see that it appears to have been turned very far, potentially damaged the outer surface of the cork. That is a GOOD sign that you used enough rotations of the screw to correctly engage the entire cork. Never skip these steps before you proceed to remove the cork. When the screw is in the correct position, the two levers are all the way up. It may take some force to push them down, so put the wine bottle in a SINK, not a countertop. This lowers the bottle for easier access and gives you a safe place to put the cork remover after you open the bottle. Using a controlled force with both hands, move both levers down carefully to make sure that you do not deflect the tapered screw in a way that is misaligned with the neck of the bottle. As the cork is removed, the last part may be fragile from contact with the wine. In addition, the entire cork remover becomes less stable, and free to pivot if you are not careful. This last motion can still damage a cork and create fragments, so just be careful and precise to gently pivot the levers all the way down and then if necessary use a twisting motion to ease the last part of the cork out of the bottle. This method has never failed to remove hundreds of corks from bottles made all over the world without wrecking the cork. Try it and you will never have a broken cork problem again.
