Baby Blue - Corn Whiskey

From the Brand: The first Texas whisky on the market since Prohibition, Baby Blue is crafted from roasted blue corn. This rich and oily maize adds new sophistication to the corn whisky tradition while keeping the freshness and verve of classic American distilling. Intentionally youthful, Baby Blue captures the essence of this prized corn with a round nuttiness, roasted overtones and refined complexity. The mouthfeel is viscous with a soft finish. A true Texas original that we are delighted to share with the world.

About the Distillery: Our custom Forsyth copper pot stills are, as far as we know, the tallest pot stills in the world. Their height and unique helical lyne arm design allows us to create a rich and viscous spirit. We specifically tailor long 7-day fermentation processes for each of our recipes. We coax our yeasts alongside our local microflora to create the sour precursors to rich fruity aromas that will develop during distillation. The climate in the Lone Star State is unique to say the least. The wild daily temperature swings we experience throughout the year at our distillery and barrel warehouses create layers of unique flavor. The summer heat forces the spirit deep within the pores of the oak casks, and the winter months sees that spirit being squeezed out of the oak back into solution. We pair the intense Texas climate with highly customized 225 Liter casks that help facilitate maturation in such a dynamic environment. Each of our whiskies are intentionally matured across a variety of custom toast & char profiles so that a nuanced and complex profile can be achieved.
