Balcones Brimstone 2019 53%

Nose: Packing tape. Really don’t like this nose but going to tuck in. I used to avoid brimstone like the plague when I started into balcones, but after years of inlay whisky, I’m going to give it another try.

Palate: Licking envelopes, strong wood, slightly bitter and tannic, very little smoke here as compared to the OG version

Rating: 3 (Shane) 4 (Ryan) / 10 – and nope. Still don’t like it. So far away from the 10th anniversary or the sherry cask one that Chip gave Ryan.
