I know it's not bourbon, but have you guys seen the Balcones Texas Bock Straight Malt Whiskey? Not normally a huge fan of the Balcones expressions, but this one seems pretty good and flavorful. The bottle says it is made from the exact Shiner Bock mashbill and fermented with their proprietary yeast strain...aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels.
I also grabbed a bottle of Ben Milan Single Barrel. It's decent - not super oakey and kind of light is the best way I can describe it. The wife and I are planning to do their Father's Day "Bottle Your Own" Whiskey Experience. Hopefully it's fun.
Also grabbed a bottle of Knob Creek 12 Year Old. Haven't cracked it open yet.
Finally, I've seen y'all talking about Pinhook. I got bottle of that in Louisville at Westport several years back. I'm starting to see it around Austin - three different bottles. Which one(s) have you tried?
Got and saw all this at the new Specs in Cedar Park. The also have Buffalo Trace and Weller Special Reserve at the correct price...
