Balcones Texas Blue Corn Bourbon (Batch BCB17-1)

The concentration here is impressive as dates and raisins meet leathery oak that smells of a dusty tack shop joined by some lovely cinnamon clove and spearmint. The intensity on the rich palate is face-melting hot and muscular. Sweet flan caramel corn and vivid spice succumb to a finish built for oak lovers drying and a bit tannic bringing the molten sweet flavors to an end too soon.
