The Whiskey Crusaders review Balcones Cataleja 15th Anniversary Texas Single Malt Whisky which comes in at 118 proof. Cataleja translates to spyglass to see those before and after us means an offering, an alter built to those who came before us, who inspired us to seek out on our own. Made with 100% golden promise. It was first aged in refill bourbon 200L KY for 3 years then finished in Sherry Solera puncheons, between 500 and 700L each of Moscatel, Amontillado Dulce, Oloroso, & Palo Cortado all hand selected in Jerez, Spain. These casks are all between 80 and 100 years old but had so much character after 1 year that batch was put into neutral barrels. Then 2 more batches were put into the same sherry casks. Each batch then allowed to marry in neutral casks after finishing.

Phenomenal bottle! This is Balcones' "oldest" tasting single malt ever. Those are some magical casks and this was blended and crafted by artisans at the peak of their prowess.

It would be worth picking up for sure as it's certainly one of the best they have ever made. Cheers

Definitely has a slight sulfur note but I like it. Glorious Sherry casks were used here. Reminds me of the Longrow Sherry 14 from about 5 years ago

Maybe it is just the neck pour as I just opened a bottle. To me it was simply rough, unbalanced, and mouth numbing spicy. Truly a great nose, okay taste - hard to get pass the unbalanced and unincorporated distillate, not a great finish. I love sulphury dirty whiskeys, but I was very disappointed. Immediately I opened up a Balcones “1” to compare. The “1” was a whole lot more balanced. I’ll give it a few months, not sure this is even worth $40.

I do wonder if it was the neck pour and just needs Oxygen. Give it a few weeks and it should hopefully open up. Cheers

I get that same rotten egg taste. I’m really trying to like this, as I’m fond of other special release Balcones, but I cannot get over the rotten egg note.

Sounds great. But some Diageo fingerprints on this bottle: no age statement and huge price
@WhiskeyCrusaders
@WhiskeyCrusaders 8 месяцев назад
That could be a valid point and possibly why the bottle change design, but the good news is the whisky is excellent. Cheers
@IlludiumQ36
@IlludiumQ36 8 месяцев назад
This whisky was laid down and the barrels acquired, filled, and aged long before Diageo wrapped their tentacles around the distillery. The bottle design is actually a positive IMO and allows more product on the shelves. There are still a few years worth of pre-Diageo casks maturing for release before you really start seeing their influence.

@@IlludiumQ36 I’m more talking about the big price increase and lack of an age statement. In past years the special releases went for $80-$100
