  • You being a Texan and all that. Have you tried the Balcones Brimstone?

    Had it last weekend for the first time and it knocked me for two. Lovely stuff and I'll be buying a bottle on my next trip if I can get hold of it.

  • I did. I had a friend bring some over. It was amazeballs.

    Balcones also came and did a tasting at the SWC. I got go chat with their head of production for a while. They approach things quite differently as they were all beer brewers first so when they make the mash, they treat it like a craft beer. Longer fermentation at lower temps before they go to distill it. That gives them fewer harsher ketones to remove. That's their approach anyway.

    I love their stuff - very pricey over here. I did get to taste some of the single barrel that they bottle once a year for their employees. Woof!

  • Full on hipster whiskey then 😀

    Did you get to try the baby blue as well?

    The Brimstone is a real treat but I imagine it's not to everyone's taste. It brought memories of eating smoked baby back ribs which I haven't had for 15 years...
