Balcones TX Single Malt.
Finally found a bottle here in Colorado. Had my first after driving through TX several years ago and hadn’t been able to locate any means of getting a bottle shipped to me since. Hopefully the distribution rights are now squared away and I can keep finding it here going forward.

I contend it’s one of the greatest American distilled single malts of all time. Certainly in the recent era. If you enjoy scotch or single malt whiskey, do yourself a favor and try some Balcones TX single malt.

Has it really opened your eyes to a new brand?

I see what you did. If sold locally, yeah, it not enough that I’ve mail-ordered any. But I might have to try some of that Blueberry Velvet, after Hurley’s review.

I haven't seen it since I posted on here about it, I've seen the Apricot which is also worth trying, but it's not on the same level as the Blueberry. 4 Noses is up North, I may have to drive up there and inquire because I've been craving some.

Tried to buy the blueberry velvet, but applejacks says it was just a seasonal, no longer gettable. So, I tried their raspberry blond. Not nearly the flavor I’d hoped for. Gonna stick to actual recommendations now, not just tangents of something that was good.

But then I splurged last night. Like I never do, And I have to say, the $79, 18oz HIGH MTN. PLAINS RANCH WAGYU RIBEYE, COLORADO, GRAIN-FINISHED streak was the absolute best beast of my 50 years. And a few “Ol Curmudgeons” to wash it down with, and the joint was not pretentious at all. Three old warriors, and one’s bride who we all know was true scrapper. Place was called Urban Farmer.

In fact, This place was so good.. Mazin! If you stop smoking for 6 months, (assuming you still smoke) no cheating (chew, cigar, any variation of tobacco in mouth, (old, handshake honor code), I will buy you a three course meal there,side dishes and any desert they have, and at lr
Least three drinks. Might just have to eat it with me, though.
And since Bert won’t disclose his mad negotiating skills to sell me a stereo, I guess I just have to make him the same deal.
No cheating.

Root for your favorites

The Raspberry blonde is just mediocre IMO, the Apricot Velvet is on another level, with the Blueberry Velvet being on an even higher level. I can still find the Apricot, and recommend that one as well, the Blueberry is worth holding out for, I'm sure it will be back.

Picked this up for my wife tonight. She says it looks like "scrotum vodka." I don't drink vodka on it's own, but I think it tastes pretty great (for vodka).

Went to Breckenridge Brewery for the first time, despite living down the street for the last 3 years, that place is impressive.

Didn't realize they were in the metro area.

Santa Fe and Brewery Lane, rather large operation.
