Made it through another Monday - tonight I'm having a gift from my Brother from last Christmas, waiting patiently until today... Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky, 46% ABV, aged "at least" 6 months. Balcones is in Waco, TX - and the summer heat can age booze mighty fast. They make interesting Whisky, usually using corn. Baby Blue uses Roasted Blue Corn. How does it taste? Let's find out...
On the nose I get sweet candy, butter, and caramel. The taste I find pepper and caramel. The finish gives me some wood notes and leather. Adding water seems to open up the alcohol on the nose, more pepper on the taste. I probably prefer this neat. A bit too sweet overall for me, but would likely be good over ice or mixed, overall enjoyable. Rated 3.25 / 5.0
