Description
Balcones Texas Rum comes from a distillery best known for its whisky, and that pedigree shows in this pot still rum made from a base of molasses and cane juice. Bottled as a single cask at a near cask strength 59.6%, it brings big oak and a distinctly American whiskey character to the glass.
The nose offers vanilla, oak and citrus, and the palate doubles down with vanilla, wood, caramel and a generous load of oak spice, leaning on cask interaction in the way Balcones tends to. There is fruit and chocolate underneath, with a warm, woody, faintly smoky finish, and at this strength a splash of water helps tame the heat and a peppery edge. It is an intense, wood forward rum that suits drinkers who enjoy bourbon style oak and want to see that influence carried into a high proof American rum.
