The Whisky
The Production
The distillery is very small. But the hand crafted pot stills produce a very exciting new whisky.
The Pot Stills
There is not much knowledge about the stills, as they were not made by any big smithing companies. Everything in the stillroom was built by Chip Tate himself.
The stills are pot stills and are very round at the base. There is no constricting piece or reflux bowl above the intermediate piece. Although the construction of the the neck is very tall and lets the alcohols separate very nicely. In addition the the lyne arm is rising after the bent above the neck.
The Malting
The ingredients at the Balcones distillery vary a lot. The distillery produces single malt whisky as well as special corn mixtures.
The Warehouse
