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!
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.
