Balcones Cataleja Texas Single Malt Whiskey 750mL is a stunning limited-edition release from the renowned Balcones Distilling in Waco, Texas—an artisanal whiskey that showcases exceptional craftsmanship, patience, and vision. Inspired by Spanish winemaking traditions, Cataleja begins as Balcones’ celebrated Texas Single Malt and is then matured in used sherry casks from Spain, including Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso, and Moscatel barrels, for an extraordinarily rich and layered flavor profile.
This sherry-cask finishing imparts waves of dark fruit, roasted nuts, chocolate, and spice, beautifully balanced by Balcones’ signature malty sweetness. Bottled at cask strength, Balcones Cataleja delivers an immersive whiskey experience that rivals some of the world’s greatest single malts—bold, elegant, and distinctly Texan.
Each bottle is a testament to innovation and artistry, representing one of Balcones’ most ambitious and refined creations to date.
