“Texas single malt in bespoke new oak; Golden Promise barley”
Tasting notes
- nose
- caramel, dried and golden fruit, cashew, sweet baking spice over deep Golden Promise malt and assertive Texas new oak
- palate
- oak-forward and polished — honeyed malt, toasted nut, baking spice with enough body to stand neat
- finish
- long malty sweetness into warm oak and dried fruit
Mash bill
- Golden Promise malted barley100%
100% Golden Promise malted barley — the classic Scottish barley variety prized for honeyed malt and soft cereal character. No corn, no rye: this is a pure-barley Texas single malt built so the custom oak toast/char and Waco heat can speak without mash-bill noise. Golden Promise is the grain thesis; Texas warehouse climate does the rest.
- Cask
- New American oak with custom toast/char (mix of ~240L and 500L casks)
- Finish
- Multi-cask program: custom toast/char American oak; historically small→large barrel marrying across oak profiles
- Best served
- neat
