Balcones Cataleja Texas Single Malt Whiskey: Delving deep into the roots of Texas craftsmanship, the Cataleja serves as a beacon to a rich lineage of whiskey-making. Crafted meticulously with 100% Golden Promise malted barley, its journey begins in refill casks and culminates in a dance with decommissioned Sherry Solera puncheons. Notes of Moscatel, Amontillado Dulce, Oloroso, and Palo Cortado unite, crafting a symphony of flavors. As much a tribute as it is a tantalizing sip, Cataleja offers a respectful nod to the pioneers of the past while boldly forging its own legacy.

Nose: The nose is an inviting mix of dark fruits, with figs and dates leading the charge. A hint of Christmas pine adds a festive touch, while grape jelly and cacao bring a sweet, rich undertone. There’s also a surprising note of nectarine, adding a burst of freshness to the aromatic profile.
