Balcones True Blue 100 Proof Straight Corn Whisky

True Blue 100 Proof is made from the same select barrels of blue corn whisky that have always gone into Balcones True Blue Cask Strength, diluted down to 100 proof. As such, many Bourbon drinkers, in particular, may gravitate to this powerfully subtle dram. Since the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, ‘100 proof’ has long stood for quality and authenticity. True Blue 100 carries on that tradition. 100% of the whisky in this bottle was born, raised, and bottled at Balcones – from mash to glass. More approachable than full cask-strength whisky, True Blue 100 retains the depth and complexity of over-proof spirits with the softer edges, supple textures and fuller fruitiness that slight dilution can bring. Perfect “as is” or with as much water as you prefer.

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of ripe apricots & mango with cinnamon, singed sugar on top of cocoa and dried chillies. Deep oak and char on the palate, accompanied by black tea and salty baking chocolate, old leather, roasted corn and coffee. A finish of lingering dried cherries and blackberries followed by toasty bitter chocolate with pleasant oak tannins.
