Balcones Lineage Texas (Batch SML 20-1)

From the first sniff this whiskey defines itself as intense and full-flavored: candied kiwi papaya mango pineapple and jackfruit crowd out almost all other aromas though if it sits for a while brown sugar and pecans emerge. The palate is consistent with plenty of tropical fruit but also cocoa powder oak and dry nuttiness. More pineapple kiwi and jackfruit on the finish but they fade fairly quickly to allow vanilla bean and dry oak to shine.
