Gunpowder Rye at a restaurant...so soft I would not have guessed rye at all...meh.

Berkshire Bourbon (finally)..will have to read a bit about it, no rye bite at all, but I couldn't say I know it is a wheated bourbon either. Had a nice thick mouth feel (I'll take a beating for that phrase) and a honey like finish. Guess I like it, not love it.

4 glasses. I said it the second time to emphasize that I didn't dislike it... and it wasn't enough to keep me from the gym this morning. Cool

Honestly with the exception of Rumble(very unique whisky flavor I won't even try to describe,a little on the sweet side but delicious) and Brimstone(the only smoky whisky I have ever found any affection for)good for a change up but I wouldn't drink it with any regularity.

The rest of the line I have not been impressed with......especially at its price point.Their single malt was good,not extraordinary but good.BUT I can get a bottle of McCallan's 12 sherry oak for about 20-40 bones cheaper(the price for the Balcones Single Malt varies incredibly down here) .........and the McCallan's IMHO is far superior single malt.

So I found me a bottle of Rumble, think it was $58. I really don't know what category it fits in, maybe whiskey, maybe rum, though it is neither, it competes well at 47% abv.

From the front label:
a Texas wildflower honey, turbinado sugar, and mission fig spirit.

from the back label (batch R14-9 date 9/19/14)
a spirit that defies categorization... (the mixture) is fermented together and twice distilled in traditional copper pot stills... matured in premium oak casks... and proofed down using natural Texas hill country spring water...a culinary concept born of cross-category composition.

I like it. Had some neat and some with two ice cubes last night.

Did I mention I like it?

Tyyler sent me a nip of True Blue Cask Strength 62.2% whiskey from Balcones a few years back. Wouldn't have been something I could drink with any regularity, too "corny" for me. But I have heard some good things about their single malt, granted that was from sales people at a cool local shpo, though they have proven to be reliable.

picked up another nice change of pace yesterday along with the Rumble.
Glendalough Sherry Cask Finish Poitin (potcheen)

maybe I'm the only one who knew nothing about this stuff, but I'm liking it as a"sweet" whiskey type drink. Sweeter than Quinta Ruban, Lasanta, , Nectar D'or, etc.

Per the label blurb, this Irish liquor may be the first spirit ever distilled, long before whiskey.

40% abv, fermented beet and malted barley, sherry cask finished in virgin Irish oak (don't ask me how that is possible). It drinks like whiskey but I can clearly taste the sherry.
It was on a special for $25, I'll probably go get a back up. There were others with this name, one was a white version but I knew I'd prefer the amber colored drink.

Funny you mention that Frank, I was just looking at that Glendalough you are talking about today and the 13 year old on the website where I found the rumble. I also had never heard of it.

How you like it Frank? I kinda hate it when people go with my advice when spending that much haha. I personally on the fence wether it a rum or whiskey, has quality of both. Strange spirit but tastey and different imo.
