Baker’s 7 Year Old Single Barrel High Rye Bourbon
Baker’s Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
I’ve always been a firm believer that being different is something to be celebrated. Perhaps that’s why single barrels hold a special place in my heart. Each one is a true original. Through limited releases like this one, we’re once again celebrating what it means to be different. Made from a mash bill distinct from our signature bourbon, this release explores another side of the spirit. I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know this one-of-a-kind character and the flavors that make it unique. And just as you’d expect, the bottle in your hand came from a single barrel. Take a sip and taste the difference.
– Baker Beam
Unfiltered for a richer, fuller flavor. You might see particles or cloudiness in the liquid. We call this flock & haze and it’s a natural feature of unfiltered whiskey.

Balcones Big Baby Bottled In Bond
We have a special spot in our hearts for our roasted blue corn new make filled into casks we receive from our neighbors in Mexico.

We hope you will enjoy this neat, on ice, or in your favorite salt-rimmed cocktail.

Balcones Cataleja
As a symbol of our offering to the makers who came before us and whose inspiration roused us to seek a future all our own, Cataleja Texas Single Malt is one of the most complex and unique whiskies in our 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.
The word Cataleja is a loose translation of the English word spyglass. As we chart our course, we honor our elders by viewing the horizon through their lens, learning the lessons we need to chart our own course and ensuring the future of Texas whiskies and American Single Malts.
ON THE NOSE, Cataleja is bright yet earthy with 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.
ON THE PALATE, it is 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. Pineapple kebabs on matchstick and cinnamon skewers fade to a bittersweet finish of licor de hierbas and affogato made with cherry ice cream.

Dusk is finished exclusively in freshly dumped first-fill Haak ex-Madeira casks. Singular and dense, dark and brooding notes of roasted nuts, polish, & dried plums.

Balcones Tres Hombres By ZZ Top
In celebration of mutual Texas heritage and love of whisky, we’ve teamed up with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, ZZ Top to bring you a one-of-a-kind whisky, Tres Hombres.
This little ol’ whisky from Texas has been years in the making – coordinating tasting and blending discussions alongside ZZ Top virtually over Zoom. We set out to create a whisky with the foundational grains of Balcones – Blue Corn, Malted Barley, and Rye. In designing a whisky from disparate mashbills, we had to ask ourselves what each player would contribute to the whole: First, we went back to our roots and started with blue corn to provide a solid bass layer and an oily body. Next, we introduced malted barley matured in virgin oak, for a soft-toned mid-palate and a stone fruit heavy finish, and finally, rye, to deliver a bright spicy top note to the whole ensemble.
Three distinct whiskies, and three distinct band members – married together to create a unique whisky that was brought together in collaboration with the members of ZZ Top. The sum of its parts tells a compelling story, just like the iconic tunes of that little ol’ band from Texas…
NOSE
Evaporative and spritely with aromas of honeycrisp apples and buttered pastry; hint of suede and whiteflower honey
TASTE
Sweet and coating with good acidity, brown sugar and red grapes
FINISH
Effervescent with a bit of fresh ginger and sage
