Cataleja Texas Single Malt Whiskey

Cataleja Texas Single Malt is one of the most complex and unique whiskies in Balcones' portfolio.

The Single Malt made with 100% Golden Promise Malted Barley was first aged in refill casks, then in a variety of decommissioned Sherry Solera puncheons: Moscatel, Amontillado Dulce, Oloroso, & Palo Cortado.To celebrate their 15th year of distilling whisky in Texas, Balcones brought to life Balcones Cataleja with influence from the makers who came before: old world barley, long open fermentations, customized casks suited to Texas climate, copper pot distillation, and top tier wine finishes.

Tasting notes

Nose

Notes of brandied figs dusted with smoked paprika that build to sautéed apricots served on an olive wood spoon. Deeper breaths reveal sophisticated savory notes of sobrasada garnished with orange zest, mossy cherry cavendish, and venison jerky in browned butter.

Taste

Sticky with brooding notes of medjool dates stuffed with cashew butter, cacao nib, and ground clove which transitions to vibrant notes of eucalyptus oil and burnt lemon peel.

Finish

Pineapple kebabs on matchstick and cinnamon skewers fade to a bittersweet finish of licor de hierbas and affogato made with cherry ice cream.

Original and authentic

From grain to glass

In 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea driven by a passion to create something original and authentic in the Heart of Texas. It all started in an old welding shop under a bridge in Waco. Balcones began distilling in 2009.

Ingredients matter. Balcones has always sought out ingredient for their richness in flavor. From blue corn grown in New Mexico to the first Texas-grown malted barley, it aims to get the most out of raw materials to make a better whiskey.
