Balcones' first release, Baby Blue, was made from roasted Texan blue corn and was the first whisky from Texas on the market since Prohibition. The distillery was born in 2008 in a Waco welding shop under a bridge, its stills fitted by hand by founder Chip Tate. Blue corn whisky remains its signature: nutty, buttery and sweet, warmed by Texas heat.
