Balcones Mirador "Eclipse" Texas Single Malt Whisky
A celestial-inspired American Single Malt, Mirador Eclipse balances experimental flair with refined complexity. A silky journey of floral brightness, tart citrus, and wine-tinged depth—this is both a moment and a memory in a glass. Origins & Craftsmanship Crafted by Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas, celebrated for bold innovation in American whisky. Their terroir-driven process is shaped by Texas’s extreme climate swings—scorching heat and icy lows. An imaginative take on their annual Mirador release, Echoing a solar eclipse, this expression uses a dual-yeast fermentation: red wine and rosé yeast combined with their house malt whisky yeast. Matured for 4–5 years in a mix of first-, second-, and third-fill Kentucky bourbon barrels, blending fruit, grain, and textured depth. Bottled at 55% ABV (110–110.6 proof) to highlight boldness and finesse. Tasting Profile Nose: A radiant bloom of pressed flowers and clover hay, layered with mango meringue, pineapple gumdrops,
