Introducing the Balcones Limited Release Whisky Pack. Celebrate someone special with this
exclusive collection of extremely rare Texas Whisky, available just in time for Father’s Day. Each custom box contains 3x100ml bottles of Balcones Distilling’s limited release whiskies, accompanied by your very own glencairn glass to savour each drop.

Each 100ml product offers a glimpse into the rich history of Balcones Distilling. Founded in 2008 as the first Texas whisky produced since prohibition, Balcones Distilling is world renowned for creating award-winning, authentic Texas spirits from grain to glass.

What’ Inside:
1. Texas Rye Single Barrel Wine Cask Finish: Aged in new American oak then finished in a Pinot Noir cask for fifty nine months, this Single Barrel Texas Rye is spectacularly intense, with an oily richness and incredible flavour. Non-chill filtered, and with an ABV of 64.4%, this Australia exclusive is sure to make a central talking point for any whiskey enthusiast's cabinet.

2. Tres Hombres Texas Whisky: Some things just belong together. In celebration of mutual Texas heritage and love of whisky, Balcones Distilling have teamed up with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, ZZ Top to bring you a one-of-a-kind whisky, Tres Hombres. Sharing the title of the band’s first top 10 chart album released in 1973, Tres Hombres is made using three distinct
grains: Roasted Blue Corn, Malted Barley and Rye.

3. Texas Single Malt Rum Cask Finish: Single Malt whisky has always been the drive and passion behind Balcones. Over the years they have been inspired by other spirit traditions, including the American classic: Rum. After a few small batches of their own Texas Rum, Balcones refilled the same casks with select Texas Single Malt, marrying two of our favourite
things together to create a unique Texas Whisky. Bottled at cask strength.

4. Glencairn Glass: Popular with whisky aficionados worldwide, crafted to enhance the tasting
experience of fine whisky, the Glencairn Glass has a tulip-shaped bowl and a short, solid base.

Old Louisville Whiskey Co. Batch 2 now available in 🇦🇺

"Old Louisville is really where we learned the trade of whiskey and gained our bourbon knowledge," said Amine Karaoud. "Much like the neighborhood, we wanted to release a whiskey that was aged properly. It took patience, but it has been well worth it."

A perfect example of their commitment to quality over quantity is evident in the care that goes into each bottle of their small-batch bourbon. They use only premium spirit and age their whiskey for a minimum of 7 years before bottling it by hand.

Each bottle is truly a work of art - as unique as the historic neighborhood it pays tribute to.

Wild Turkey Master's Keep Unforgotten, the newest release in the annual limited-edition series, was inspired by a fortuitous and unexpected co-mingling of young rye and mature bourbon released more than a decade ago. Master Distiller Eddie Russell has resurrected the memory of that release, Wild Turkey Forgiven, with the release of Master's Keep Unforgotten, a high proof, extra-aged variation of the harmonious blend of straight bourbon and rye whiskies. The unconventional and complex liquid serves as a testimony to Eddie's experience and the legacy of Wild Turkey as one of the few Kentucky distilleries that have remained dedicated to the art of making rye whiskey, alongside its renowned bourbons.

The idea to marry straight bourbon and rye whiskies of Wild Turkey Distilling Co. was born in 2010 when a crew member accidentally mixed a batch of young rye with a barrel of mature bourbon. Upon tasting the co-mingled whiskeys, Master Distiller Eddie Russell realized he had something very special on his hands. Rather than discard the serendipitous mistake, the Distillery celebrated it, bottling the whiskey for a limited time, and fittingly naming it Forgiven.
