Balcones Single Cask Rum (for Barrel & Batch Whisky Co-Op)

Balcones distillery was founded in Waco, Texas in 2008 and has been at the forefront of the exploding craft distillation scene there ever since.

From the team at Barrel & Batch:

“Round and full of flavor, our rum is made from a collection of the finest molasses available. As always, we bring out the best in our ingredients through traditional double distillation in hand-built copper pot stills. The result of our unique cooperage program, consisting of a variety of oak species and multiple toast profiles, is a bold and robust rum with rich deep fruit flavors, with viscous and warm notes of vanilla and caramel. This is a rum to excite both the rum purist and the committed whisky drinker.”

Founded a year ago by Ray (of Webster’s Bar) and Simon (of New Sydney Hotel), Barrel & Batch Whisky Co-Op is exactly what the name suggests; a group dedicated to sourcing and selecting incredible single barrel (or batch) whiskies from around the world and making them available to their co-op members each month. Here at The Oak Barrel we’re lucky enough to get our hands on a small number of the odd release.
