Wow....the ambiance was the first thing that truly captured my attention. A portion of the old manufacturing facilty craftily turned into a small intimate setting to enjoy. But I quickly learned that was just a hint of things to come.

Their drinks are truly amazing; wonderfully crafted and served. The flavor is deep and smooth with subtle hints of specific flavors chosen for each of the special label offerings. I do admit I am new to the world of darker liquors, but I can discern quality and flavor with the best of critics.

Additionally, the experience is topped off with the inclusion of various jazz musicians from the Waco area.

The overall experience was as close to perfect as one could wish for. I highly recommend Balcones, especially their version of the Old Fashioned.
