Balcones - Texas Rye Eclipse - Cask Strength - 64%
Balcones Distilling is located in Texas, USA . In 2008, Chip Tate moved into an old welding shop located under a bridge in Waco. After a year of replacing the roof, tearing down walls, laying bricks, cutting pipes, he installed copper stills from Portugal and created his distillery. The first distillations took place in 2009. The ingredients chosen are qualitative and varied: from blue corn grown in New Mexico to the first malted barley grown in Texas. The effort and passion paid off: Chip Tate's whiskey was a hit almost from the moment it landed on shelves in ten states in 2010. In late 2012, he realized he had needs financial assistance to develop, and appeals to an investor: Gregory Allen. After a conflict with the latter, Chip Tate agreed to let the board buy out his shares in the company, he was then fired and, through a non-compete agreement, banned from making whiskey until March 2016 The head distiller is Jared Himstedt.
Balcones Eclipse Straight Rye is co-fermented with beer and whiskey yeasts.
