Balcones Montilla Sherry American Whisky

It’s not every day you get the chance to try world-first whisky. Using a rare triple Sherry finish and the same barley masters of Sherry cask maturation The Macallan used in its most highly revered Sherried malts, Balcones is back with a truly exquisite whisky made only for Members. 

Balcones “paints with the brush of the masters," as Director of Spirits Gabriel RiCharde says, by using Golden Promise Barley, the very same barley The Macallan used in its iconic Sherried whiskies of the 70s through to the early 90s, to build a classically rich, oily and nutty foundation that’s perfect for a big, luscious Sherry cask maturation.

And these are three exceptional Sherry casks: Oloroso casks more than 80 years old, and Amontillado Dulce and Moscatel Dorado casks more than 40 years old. Moscatel Dorado casks are extremely rare, and Amontillado Dulce no longer exists as a category in Sherry— this is truly a one-off whisky. 

Jam-packed with a triple layering of flavours that everyone loves in Sherried whiskies like fresh raspberries, golden raisins, jammy figs, Macadamia biscuits, toasted almonds and dark berry chocolate with a long, fruity and exquisitely full-bodied finish. This isn’t a Sherry bomb — it’s a Sherry blockbuster. 

One sip and you’ll see why the Texan titans are Member favourites. Our first collaboration with the distillery, the triple Portuguese cask, Balcones Portucale, won gold and Best in Class at The Whiskies of the World awards. Our Members voted it their second favourite Add In whisky of 2022 and it sold out in less than 24 hours.

A few Members were lucky enough to taste a sample and were blown away. Their thoughts ranged from “Oh wow” to "This is a little glass of heaven.”

It’ll never happen again, and you can’t try it anywhere else but here at Australia’s biggest community of whisky lovers. Join the Club free now to get in on all the upcoming whisky action.
