Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Texas single malt with a twist in the fermenter. Balcones built Mirador Eclipse from malted barley using a fermentation process involving red wine, rosé yeast, and the distillery's house malt whisky yeast. It then matured for 4 to 5 years in a mix of first, second, and third-fill used Kentucky bourbon casks. It pours warm amber and smells like fruit in full sun: clover, mango meringue, pineapple gumdrops, almond biscotti, and honeydew. The palate turns creamy and dessert-like, with blush lemon custard, white chocolate raspberry tart, and guava pound cake, cut by a thread of prairie sage before a long, spiced finish of dried thyme and honeyed jasmine tea. At 110 proof it rewards slow sipping. It suits malt drinkers curious about American single malt and collectors following Balcones releases. We carry this limited edition because it earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and because its fruit-and-herb profile is genuinely distinctive.
Pairs well with
- White chocolate raspberry tart — The dessert mirrors the white chocolate raspberry tart note on the palate and plays up the whiskey's creamy sweetness.
- Brie with mango and honeydew — Creamy cheese and fresh fruit echo the mango meringue and honeydew aromas on the nose.
- Slow after-dinner tasting session — The long, spiced finish of dried thyme and honeyed jasmine tea unfolds best when there is time to linger over a glass.
Questions about this bottle

Much of the character comes from fermentation. Balcones describes a process involving red wine, rosé yeast, and its house malt whisky yeast, which helps explain the bright tropical fruit, red berry, and floral notes alongside the creamy, dessert-like palate.
How was this whiskey aged?
